What Polska Misja Medyczna/Polish Medical Mission does

Polska Misja Medyczna (Polish Medical Mission, PMM) is a Polish medical humanitarian non-governmental organization founded in 1999 and headquartered in Kraków, Poland. It operates as a Stowarzyszenie (registered association) with approximately 25 staff and a deployed network of volunteer medical professionals. The organization delivers healthcare services in armed conflict zones and humanitarian crises, with current operations in Ukraine, Ethiopia, Senegal, Palestine/Gaza, Syria, Iraq, Colombia, and Poland, alongside a historical footprint spanning Kosovo, Albania, Iran, Indonesia, Afghanistan, Haiti, Uganda, Myanmar, Chad, and others — covering 30+ countries across 5 continents over 25 years.

PMM's service portfolio centers on direct medical interventions rather than technology products: Emergency Medical Aid, Mobile Clinics (three mobile clinics and one mobile laboratory in Ukraine's Kharkiv, Sumy, and Kyiv oblasts), the certified PMM EMT (Emergency Medical Team Type 1), Medical Volunteering, Maternal and Newborn Care, Therapeutic Feeding, Prosthetics and Rehabilitation, and Psychological Support (MHPSS). It also runs support programs including the 'Friends of PMM' recurring donation program, the 1.5% Polish tax donation channel, and the Misja Pomoc crowdfunding platform. The organization's differentiator is its long-term capacity-building model: rather than short-term relief, it trains local medical staff and equips hospitals with the intent that improvements outlast its presence.

The business model is entirely donation- and grant-funded. Revenue streams include individual donations (one-time and recurring, PLN 35–200 preset tiers with 1 PLN minimum custom amounts, accepted via BLIK, PayU, Google Pay, PayPal, and bank transfer), the 1.5% Polish income tax designation, corporate partnerships, and institutional grants — chiefly from the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Polska Pomoc MSZ RP), Norwegian Funds (EEA/Norway Grants via Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway), and the European Commission (DG ECHO certification obtained January 2026). Reported 2025 outcomes include 10,273 mobile clinic consultations in Ukraine, 9,004 people reached through nutritional education in Senegal, and 1,446 children receiving psychosocial support in Palestine.
