President Andrzej Duda signed an amendment to the Act on the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw. It allows the university to create a medical direction and run it in the newly appointed Collegium Medicum.

During the ceremony, President Duda said: “It is university, based on the Christian foundations in terms of its ethics, of the way they teach young people here. It is very important that such a university as the first university in our part of Europe will have a medical department and will train doctors. It will educate people who will care for human life, guided by the principles of Catholic ethics.”

Jarosław Gowin, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Science and Higher Education emphasized that “graduates of the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University will differ not only because of their outstanding qualifications, but also because of their clear value system, which is particularly important in this profession, namely the secret life and death. The secret of human dignity and humanity.”
