The main responsibility is to carry out a dialog with patients and to support them on every stage of interaction with health care operators – from the moment of purchase to visits or examinations in a medical center. The Health Ombudsman will maintain impartiality when reviewing patient cases, assessing the quality of service and procedures in an objective manner. Close contact with patients will allow him or her to have real impact on the development of new solutions and health products. In addition to contacts with customers, the Health Ombudsman also promotes health and prevention activities undertaken by PZU.
