“We want to see the whole human being – his or her somatic, mental and spiritual aspects,” said the rector of the Catholic University of Lublin (KUL), Rev. Prof. Mirosław Kalinowski, during the official inauguration of the Faculty of Medicine.

The new Faculty already offers education in midwifery, nursing, biotechnology and dietetics, and from October 2023, a medical faculty will also begin. 

Support for the new Faculty was pledged by Minister of Health Adam Niedzielski, who noted that the increase in the number of medical students will translate into better patient access to a doctor in the future.

Minister Niedzielski announced that the Ministry of Health will provide support to the Faculty of Medicine of the Catholic University of Lublin in the amount of PLN 40 million in the form of bonds.
