Ludzie dla Ludzi

Founded in 1989, Ludzie dla Ludzi is a non-governmental organisation based in Poland working on health, medical research, employment & skills.

Ludzie dla Ludzi is a Polish foundation founded in 1989 that supports cancer patients, their families, medical staff and workplaces. Its work covers prevention, education and training, screening and diagnostics, equipment funding, research into genetic risk and artificial intelligence in oncology, and rehabilitation and return to work after cancer treatment. Its activities include the FAQRAK.pl information portal, the Biuro Interwencji Onkologicznej, free mammography screening, and national awareness campaigns. The foundation operates across Poland, with a strong focus on the Wielkopolska region, and does not accept funding from pharmaceutical companies or other businesses with a commercial interest in oncology patients. It has its roots in a 1989 hunger strike by Poznań health workers and in the work of Dr Dariusz Godlewski and Alina Pienkowska. It co-owns the Ośrodek Profilaktyki i Epidemiologii Nowotworów (OPEN) in Poznań.
