On Saturday, June 13, 2026, the 17th Wrocław Health Promotion Days took place in the heart of Wrocław. For the first time, the event took place in Wrocław's Market Square, transforming part of it into an open space for discussions about health, prevention, physical activity, and the well-being of residents.
For six hours, participants benefited from free tests, specialist consultations, expert advice, workshops, activities for children, and an educational program prepared by the event partners. This year's edition was officially opened by Deputy Mayor of Wrocław Mateusz Żak, Director of the Health and Social Affairs Department at Wrocław City Hall Joanna Nyczak, and Director of the Wrocław Centre for Social Development Dorota Feliks.

According to data provided by the event partners, over 4,300 people took advantage of the tests, consultations, advice, and educational activities offered at various stands during the 17th Wrocław Health Promotion Days. Of all the recorded use of the partners' offers, 82% were by Wrocław residents, nearly 10% by people from the Wrocław metropolitan area, and over 8% by people from other parts of Lower Silesia and Poland. These data demonstrate that the event effectively reaches primarily Wrocław residents, while remaining an important preventative initiative for the entire region.
