Prof. Rafał Krenke, Rector of the Medical University of Warsaw, and Junior Inspector Dr Krzysztof Ogroński, Commander of the Warsaw Police, signed a cooperation agreement on ensuring safety and counteracting threats on the premises of our university, resulting, among other things, from acts of aggression, crisis events, and incidents of a terrorist or mass nature.

The experts invited to join the team are Professor Robert Gałązkowski, Head of the Department of Emergency Medical Sciences at the Faculty of Health Sciences, and Patryk Rzońca, PhD Hab., Vice Dean for Dietetics and Emergency Medical Sciences at the Faculty of Health Sciences.

Our University has welcomed distinguished guests: Dr. Leonard Brennan from the Australian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Sonya Richards, the Australian Consul in Warsaw and Deputy Head of Mission, together with Agnieszka Hyla from the Embassy’s Consular Services Department.

Our University has hosted the most important event of this year dedicated to wartime medicine and the organization of the healthcare system in crisis situations. High-ranking officials and directors of medical facilities from Ukraine who work in wartime conditions every day came to Poland. The meeting was also attended by the representatives of Polish public administration and medical, scientific, academic, local government, and military communities, as well as experts in many defense-related fields. The conference was organized by the WUM Department of Emergency Medical Sciences together with the Healthcare Institute.

The Council has 24 members, experts in many areas such as social policy, economics, demography, and sociology. One of the scientists invited to join that body is our academic, head of the University Laboratory for Research in Human Milk and Lactation at the WUM Department of Medical Biology.

It has already been 12 years that the Department of Public and Environmental Health at the WUM Faculty of Health Sciences, together with the Healthcare Institute, has organized the Public Health Congress. This year, expert discussions focused on the civilization-driven and demographic challenges, lifestyle diseases, as well as prevention, diagnostics, and cancer treatment.

The conference was organized by the Department of Pediatric Oncology, Hematology, and Transplantology at the Children’s Clinical Hospital, which has also now performed its 100th bone marrow transplant for a child. This is a great result, considering that the ward that performs those procedures has only been in operation for 8 years. The entire department has been operating for much longer, and currently celebrates 55 years of existence.

Although formally, the University Clinical Center has existed for 7 years only, it was built on the strong foundations of three teaching hospitals, which have operated for years. Thus, the jubilee brings together three anniversaries: 125 years of the Infant Jesus Clinical Hospital, 50 years of the Central Clinical Hospital, and 10 years of the Children’s Clinical Hospital.

WUM Rector’s special award for papers with the highest number of citations in global literature has been granted to Professor Joanna Kolmas from the Chair and Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Biomaterials.

The Minister of Health has recognized academic teachers from medical universities for their outstanding achievements in science, teaching, implementation, and organization, as well as for their overall academic achievement. This year’s recipients include teachers from our University.
