Our Leadership

Lucyna Jaworska-Wojtas

President & Founder

Lucyna is a passionate advocate for women’s health and the driving force behind the Foundation. As a patient and activist, she transformed her personal experience with endometriosis into a national movement. Her efforts have positioned the Foundation as a leading voice in health advocacy in Poland.

“I made a vow to myself: if my granddaughter ever falls ill, she will live in a country where she has access to proper treatment, and no doctor will tell her they can’t help. In Poland, there will be state-of-the-art endometriosis clinics equipped with the best technology in the world.”— Lucyna Jaworska-Wojtas
