Poland, like many other European countries, has experienced a steady growth in life expectancy and significant improvements in health status over the past years.
However, different factors trigger increasing inequalities in health, such as unequal income distribution, living conditions, healthcare services, diet, alcohol and substance abuse.
In total, Norway grants have set aside €18 million to improve public health and reduce health inequalities in Poland.
