The President of the Fund is appointed by the Prime Minister at the request of the minister of health after consultation with the Council of the Fund. There is a branch in each of the 16 provinces. In 2015 its income was 69.8 billion Polish złoty and it employed the full-time equivalent of 5,184 people. [1]
