Don't look at the price, talk about the quality. In the end, we buy quality. This is the most important thing in hematology and oncology – said the head of the Great Christmas Charity Orchestra, Jerzy Owsiak, on TVN24. He pointed to the selection of equipment made by WOŚP with the money collected in the final round.
On January 26, the final of the 33rd Great Christmas Charity Orchestra will be held. This time, the orchestra will play children's oncology and hematology. The leader of the Great Christmas Charity Orchestra, Jerzy Owsiak, was the guest of the “Facti po factach” program on Monday.
– Nine years ago, we bought 80 ultrasound devices for early diagnosis. This has shown that this kind of thinking and foresight is expensive, but pays off later. This gave great results. The oncologists and the hematologists said, “Look, this helped us, this quick diagnosis, to treat the kids as quickly as possible,'' he said. – This year we bought a record number of more than 1600 devices, – he added.

Ovsiak: We buy quality last
– It turns out that the whole field of oncology and hematology is about space devices, which are really sophisticated and can work very well in the hands of Polish doctors, nurses, paramedics and laboratory assistants, – he explained.
He noted that the price of the equipment is expensive, although it is not “absurd”. – It is impossible to make something cheap. If you pay a little, you pay twice – said Owsiak.
Ovsiak explained that the fund cooperates with specialists who choose the best devices. – Don't look at the price, talk about the quality. In the end, we buy quality, and this is the most important in hematology and oncology, – he emphasized.
He mentioned that money from the 33rd final will also be allocated for cancer research. – These are 18 children's departments, 5 neurosurgery oncology centers, 6 oncology surgery centers, 4 pathology departments, 17 hospices, – Ovsiak mentioned.
“We play because we like it and we say we play for health,” he said. He said the regular number of volunteers involved in the Grand Final Christmas Charity Orchestra is 120,000. – There are headquarters not only in Poland, but all over the world. This is the most beautiful thing, because he is such a Polish voice in the world, – he added.
Ovsiak: We will not stop
Owsiak also talked about how WOŚP helped flood victims. – We immediately helped. Our rule is that if something happens, we release the money immediately – Ovsiak explained.
– We want to help Nisa hospital. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging rooms are available. This is a hospital that was flooded and had to be evacuated, he added. He said it would be “bad for a long time”.
– Therefore, we as a fund, – insisted Ovsiak.
