WIML, Deputy manager of technological WIML, host of the meeting.
On 5 March 2026, representatives of the Kraków infirmary dealing with science, nursing, staff and legal challenges came to WIML.
The success lies in cooperation and synergies

Krzysztof Kowalczuk, presented low force chambers and an overload centrifuge - a place of training, among others, of pilots of high-manoeuvre aircraft.

On the another hand, we will make a well-functioning, complementary strategy utilizing the synergy effect of all actors. This in our opinion will be the best consequence to - due to the current safety situation - the expectations of the military and the public towards the Military wellness Service - explained Mr Dziuda.
