On behalf of the CEESTAHC Association, we cordially thank you for taking part in the 17th International Symposium Evidence-Based Health Care "Trust in Health Care" in Krakow on October 10-11, 2022. Due to the uncertain epidemic situation, the Symposium was held in a hybrid format: with the possibility of personal participation and with online transmission.

Trust is one of the cornerstones of health care. The Covid-19 pandemic reminded people of this fundamental truth quite spectacularly, both on an individual and the social level. According to the latest analyses, vaccines against the new coronavirus, introduced in record time, saved as many as 20 million people from death. This begs the question: how come not everyone eligible for the jab in highly developed countries, where citizens had access to subsequent, free-of-charge doses, took this opportunity? Most importantly, we should be looking for the answer in the broken chains of trust, which in some countries turned out to be weaker than the supply chains. Their crucial importance for the efficiency of health care systems are probably the most important lesson learnt.

Detailed information on previous editions of the Symposium can be found on the website: Archives.
