Provincial Sanitary and Epidemiological Stations along with County and Border Sanitary and Epidemiological Stations exercise sanitary control of the Polish population. Numbers of AIDS cases and HIV infections are collected through Mz-56 reports sent by Provincial Sanitary and Epidemiological Stations under the collective system of reporting cases of infectious diseases. Data on drug-related morbidity and infections also come from individual reports corrected by the Epidemiology Department of the National Institute of Public Health – National Institute of Hygiene (NIPH-NIH). Hepatitis data are reported in a similar way.
HIV infections and AIDS cases in Poland are reported by the NIPH-NIH in the form of monthly breakdowns into provinces. The information also covers AIDS-related mortality figures. The registered infections are also divided by age, gender and risk group (including injecting drug users).
