NiŚOZ (nocna i świąteczna opieka zdrowotna — night and holiday healthcare) provides medical and nursing care outside clinic opening hours: Monday to Friday from 18:00–8:00 and around the clock on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. There are currently 19 healthcare points in Świętokrzyskie voivodeship, with the largest numbers in: Kielce (4), Nowiny, Starachowice and Kazimierza Wielka. Below you will find the full list of addresses and phone numbers, access rules and information on what to do if the doctor on duty recommends laboratory tests.

When to use night and holiday healthcare

NiŚOZ is intended for people who develop a sudden illness or whose health deteriorates in a way that is not life-threatening but cannot wait until their clinic opens: fever, infection, a sore throat, earache or abdominal pain without warning signs, vomiting and diarrhoea, a flare-up of a chronic condition, or the need for an injection prescribed by a doctor or a dressing change. There are no catchment-area restrictions and no referral is needed: you can attend any healthcare point in Poland, regardless of where you live or which clinic you are registered with. The doctor on duty provides advice in person, over the phone and, where medically justified, at the patient’s home. You need an identity document for the appointment; insurance cover is checked through the eWUŚ system.

If there is an immediate threat to life (loss of consciousness, seizures, severe chest pain, sudden breathlessness, extensive burns, vomiting blood or signs of a stroke), call 112 or 999, not a NiŚOZ point. The free Telefoniczna Informacja Pacjenta (Patient Information Helpline) run by NFZ (Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia — Polish National Health Fund), 800 190 590, operates around the clock and helps you find the nearest healthcare point, but does not provide medical advice. Emergency dental care has separate duty arrangements; a list is available on the NFZ website.

Has the doctor on duty recommended tests? Have them in the morning without a referral

Night and holiday healthcare points do not carry out routine laboratory investigations: the doctor on duty assesses the patient’s condition and recommends the next steps, while blood tests (full blood count with differential, CRP, Glucose – laboratory test, electrolytes, liver function tests, urine testing) usually need to be done the following day. You do not need to wait for a clinic appointment or have a referral: you can buy tests online at BadamySie.pl and have them done in the morning at your nearest ALAB, Synevo or ETER-MED collection point, then access the results online the same day or the next day and show them to your GP. The result report is issued in Polish.
