Waiting lists for children
Which medical services for children have the longest waiting lists
NFZ marks some waiting lists as services provided to children. These are separate waiting lists, often in the same facilities as the ones for adults, and they have appointment dates of their own.

What to look out for
For a child under eighteen some medical services, among them dentistry and orthodontics, follow separate and broader rules than for adults. If the referral names a paediatric clinic, look for exactly that, because signing up at a clinic for adults will not be honoured.
In the search you can turn on a filter for facilities that see children, whenever the NFZ data holds that information for the chosen medical service.
