Hi all,

I am currently living in Wrocław but will be moving to Warsaw soon for employment. I took on a position with the UN that requires me to take a medical examination before the contract can be issued to me, in accordance with Polish law and the UN’s own policies.

The problem is that the UN requires that the physician fill out a short information sheet detailing his/her observations (see picture in comments), and a signature confirming both the observations and the results of blood and urine tests (which I already completed at a separate clinic). My concern is that a doctor might be unable (language barrier) or unwilling to fill out the form, as I think this is above and beyond what a physician is supposed to do as part of a pre-employment medical check up (“badanie wstępne”).

I have spoken to one local physician who speaks English, and he said he could provide me with a check-up and fill out the form after seeing it, but he is charging 600zł for the service, which I believe to be absurdly steep after finding out that a private check-up of this sort typically costs between 150zł-250zł.

If anyone could let me know of any other options in and around Wrocław I would be hugely grateful. If I’m wrong and the price given by the physician I spoke to is legitimate, I’ll bite the bullet and pay for it. For context, I am not presently insured, and would be paying for all medical services out of my own pocket.
