Poland Signs Agreement with HealthAI to Advance AI Governance in Health

Poland's Ministry of Health has signed an agreement with HealthAI, a global agency for responsible AI in health, to advance the country's governance of AI in the health sector. This move is part of Poland's broader strategy to join the Global Responsible Network (GRN), a community of governments and regulatory authorities committed to responsible AI in health.

The memorandum of understanding (MoU) was drafted at the AIMed 2026 Conference in Kraków, where Deputy Minister of Health of the Republic of Poland, Mr. Tomasz Maciejewski, and Dr. Ricardo Baptista Leite, CEO of HealthAI, formalized Poland's intention to join the GRN. The agreement marks the beginning of a structured cooperation program aimed at preparing Poland for full membership in the GRN.

As part of this program, Poland will participate in HealthAI's Community of Practice for government and regulatory authorities. This will enable Polish health officials to engage in peer exchange and strategic dialogue with governments from 30 countries. Additionally, HealthAI and the Polish Ministry of Health will jointly organize a convening in Poland, bringing together governmental, regulatory, academic, clinical, and innovation stakeholders. The goal is to build national alignment around responsible AI in health.

Poland's interest in joining the GRN comes at a defining moment for European AI governance. As the European Union's AI Act enters into full effect and health systems across the continent accelerate the integration of AI-powered tools, Poland's early engagement signals a clear ambition: to lead Europe's contribution to global AI health governance rather than simply respond to it.

With a rapidly growing health-tech ecosystem, strong clinical research infrastructure, and a longstanding tradition of medical excellence, Poland brings significant assets to the network. The country is poised to become a central voice in shaping international norms for safe, effective, and equitable AI in health.

By fostering collaboration, HealthAI helps governments and health systems build AI governance structures that protect patients and data while enabling innovation. This agreement reinforces HealthAI's commitment to ensuring that no region of the world is left behind in the global effort to harness AI safely for better health outcomes.
