Documents – The Key to Smooth Organization


Whether you’re coming for a fully paid stay or through the National Health Fund (NFZ) referral, be sure to bring the following documents:

  • Identity card
  • Referral (if your stay is funded)
  • Medical records (e.g., test results, consultation notes, hospital discharge summaries)
  • Health resort treatment information card (if issued earlier)
  • A current list of medications you take
  • Vaccination card
  • Retiree/pensioner ID or other document entitling you to discounts

Having all necessary documents will help the attending doctor plan the right therapy faster.

Clothing – Comfort Above All

Weather can be unpredictable, so pack clothes for all conditions. You’ll need:

  • Comfortable everyday clothing suitable for the weather
  • Sportswear and tracksuit – ideal for physical therapy and exercises
  • Slippers and flip-flops (also for the shower)
  • Swimsuit – essential for therapeutic baths or spa areas
  • Warm sweater or jacket – mornings and evenings can be chilly

Don’t forget a sun hat or cap – walks in the Spa Park during sunny days are a real treat!

Hygiene & Health – Better Safe Than Sorry


In addition to basic toiletries like shower gel, shampoo, and toothpaste, it’s good to bring:

  • Towels (even if provided by the facility, it’s handy to have your own)
  • Medications you take regularly – preferably in original packaging
  • Face mask and hand sanitizer – still useful to have at hand

Little Things That Make a Big Difference

It’s often the small items that add the most comfort. Consider packing:

  • A small backpack or bag to bring to treatments
  • A reusable water bottle
  • An alarm clock or wristwatch
  • Sunglasses and sunscreen

A stay in Busko-Zdrój is a great opportunity to take care of your health and unwind surrounded by nature. Being well prepared will help you fully enjoy the experience. Everything you need is waiting for you at the resort.
