title: [The Polish Model of health care versus the Social Teaching of the Catholic Church].
abstract: Health has an important value for every man and at the same time is a potential driving force of the development of societies. For almost all of the last centuries the main feature of the development of health protection systems has been the gradual acceptance of responsibility for the systematic development of health protection and medical care. It concerned both the preventive and therapeutic care and also aimed at maintaining health safety for all citizens. For centuries there have been various legal regulations concerning the functioning of the health system. The spirit of the times has created new solutions and new concepts in the functioning of this sector. The Social Teaching of the Church considers it indispensable to voice the opinion in order to confront modern solutions for the system of health protection with dignity and respect for any human being.
