Levels of infant mortality, and adult premature death in Poland are among the highest in Europe. Yet these levels of avoidable death are found within a socialist state which attaches considerable idealistic and instrumental value to health. This apparent anomaly is explored using a historical analysis of social and economic changes in Poland The place of health within socialist ideology is examined and then compared with information available on the health status of the Polish population. The uneasy relationship between the value placed on health, and other competing political and economic priorities is highlighted. This leads to a conclusion that improvements in health in Poland are inextricably linked to changes in the country's socio-economic systems.
