“Safe Childbirth” program
Pregnancy and childbirth-related complications are difficult to predict and require swift action. It is extremely important to have properly trained obstetricians, neonatologists and midwives on duty in emergency situations that threaten the life of the mother and her child. According to global surveys, practical exercises run on advanced childbirth phantoms that simulate challenging clinical situations shorten the learning curve and improve the manual skills of physicians and medical personnel. Such training is extremely important for preventing childbirth complications, which are a growing cause of claims reported by patients.

The “Safe Childbirth” program covered the creation of the Obstetric Simulation Center (renovation and fitting of rooms), the purchase of specialist simulators, the creation of training programs and the preparation of the Center’s teaching personnel.

Currently, the Center trains doctors, midwives and nurses, among other professionals. Its instructors include obstetricians, perinatologists and neonatologists associated with the Warsaw Medical University’s Health Center for Women and Newborns.

Thanks to PZU’s involvement, the Center has been equipped among others with a High Faithfulness Childbirth Room offering the most technologically advanced phantom of Lucie, a woman giving birth, which allows for simulating both normal and complicated childbirth.

For several years now, PZU Zdrowie has been cooperating with the Polish Coalition of Oncological Patients. The activities include cancer prevention education, assistance to cancer patients and their families and promotion of a healthy lifestyle.

PZU Zdrowie also supports the innovative project entitled “We Study Genes” prepared by the Warsaw Genomics research center in cooperation with the Medical University of Warsaw and the University of Warsaw. Through the prevention fund, the PZU Group provided funding for 400 research projects, while PZU Zdrowie supported organization of the campaign by making its medical infrastructure available. The cooperation between PZU and PZU Zdrowie in the “We Study Genes” project is slated to end with a report specifying the frequency of gene mutations determining the higher occurrence of cancer in the Mazovian population and a plan of preventive actions passed on to the tested individuals.

In 2018, PZU conducted activities to combat smog. As part of a partnership with the NASK National Research Institute, the company became involved in the Educational Anti-Smog Network (ESA) project. It is carried out by NASK in cooperation with the Polish Smog Alert. The goal of the activities is to promote knowledge on the protection of air and why smog forms, how it impacts health, as well as activities to reduce the level of pollution.

In 29 schools that took part in the ESA project, air quality meters and external boards displaying information on the current pollution level were installed. The results are sent to a central server. Also, trainings for teachers were conducted, i.e. project coordinators, whose knowledge will be later passed on to the students of the schools involved. The installation of pollution meters, an information board and educational activities were financed by the PZU’s prevention funds.
