WCPiT

What WCPiT does

Wielkopolskie Centrum Pulmonologii i Torakochirurgii im. Eugenii i Janusza Zeylandów (WCPiT) is a Samodzielny Publiczny Zakład Opieki Zdrowotnej (SP ZOZ) — an independent public healthcare institution owned by the Samorząd Województwa Wielkopolskiego (Wielkopolskie Voivodeship Self-Government). It specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases, thoracic surgery, clinical oncology, tuberculosis (including multi-drug resistant cases), pulmonary rehabilitation, palliative care, sleep-disordered breathing, and lung transplantation. The institution operates three integrated hospital sites across the Wielkopolskie voivodeship: the main hospital in Poznań (ul. Szamarzewskiego 62), a dedicated TB and pulmonary rehabilitation facility in Ludwikowo near Poznań, and a pulmonary rehabilitation, general rehabilitation, and palliative care hospital in Chodzież (the latter celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2025).

WCPiT's service portfolio is built around specialty diagnostic and treatment units including: a Regional Reference Laboratory for TB Bacilli (bacterioscopy, culture, PCR, species identification, drug resistance, IGRA); a Molecular Tumor Diagnostics Department equipped with next-generation sequencing (NGS), automated nucleic acid isolation, and laser microdissection; a four-station Polysomnography Laboratory for sleep breathing disorder diagnosis; a Functional Diagnostics Laboratory (spirometry, whole-body plethysmography, TLCO, cardiopulmonary exercise testing); imaging diagnostics (RTG, CT, USG); endoscopic diagnostics (bronchoscopy, tracheoscopy); and a clinical pathology department licensed by the Polish Society of Pathologists. The Lung Transplantation Program — first performed in 2015, suspended during COVID-19, and reactivated in 2024 under a 5-year Ministry of Health permit — operates under official patronage of AKH Vienna.

The business model is dominated by public funding: roughly recurring NFZ (Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia) contracts for inpatient and outpatient services, supplementary grants from the Ministry of Health (including for the lung transplant license), capital and operational subsidies from the voivodeship self-government, EU funding via the Krajowy Plan Odbudowy (notably the 14.4M PLN IT modernization), and a minor KRUS-funded stream providing free rehabilitation stays for farmers. A small commercial revenue line exists for services outside NFZ coverage or without referral. The institution maintains e-registration, public procurement, and EU project transparency disclosures on its public website, and pursues didactic activity (medical residencies and specialization training) plus clinical trial hosting as ancillary functions. Distribution is direct-to-patient via the three hospital sites and outpatient clinics across the region.
