Common questions

How does enrollment in the esketamine programme work?

Enrollment goes through the NFZ drug programme B.147: a psychiatrist's referral is needed, after which the hospital's programme team verifies the criteria — adults aged 18-75 with treatment-resistant depression after at least two adequately used antidepressants in the current episode.

Do I pay for the treatment?

No. B.147 is fully funded by the NFZ — the esketamine, supervised administration at the hospital and required monitoring are covered, for up to 34 weeks.

How do I reach the hospital?

The switchboard is 85 719 10 91 (Pl. im. dr Zygmunta Brodowicza 1, Choroszcz); the hospital site lists internal extensions for individual wards and its Mental Health Centre.
