Common questions

How do I get into the esketamine (Spravato) programme at this centre?

Treatment runs under Poland's NFZ drug programme B.147. You need a referral from a psychiatrist; the centre's programme team then checks the qualification criteria — adults aged 18-75 with treatment-resistant depression, meaning no response to at least two different antidepressants used adequately in the current episode.

What does the programme cover?

Programme B.147 is fully funded by the NFZ: the esketamine nasal spray, its supervised administration at the centre and the required monitoring visits are covered, for a maximum of 34 weeks of treatment.

Where do I register?

The hospital's Mental Health Centre registration is available at 42 71 55 918, and the site also offers an online registration portal. Bring your psychiatrist's referral and treatment history documenting previous antidepressant trials.
