Description
In October 2005, the Council of the Małopolska Province decided to close down a children’s rehabilitation hospital in Rabka – the famous Polish children’s spa. The hospital had financial problems that got worse when desperate staff requested overdue wages. As a result, court executive officer took over hospital’s account. The hospital operates since 1937. It treated children suffering from respiratory diseases, diabetes and postural defects. Fired hospital’s employees have little chances to find employment in other medical institutions in their area.
