The program is executed in 134 centers, contracted with National Health Fund. 11 thousand people with exudative form of age-related macular degeneration have already been enrolled to the program and the number of qualified patients is increasing. Since the beginning of the program most patients were treated in following regions: Silesia, Lower Silesia, Mazovia, Malopolska, Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Lodz. Patients are qualified by Coordinating Team under the leadership of the Chairman, appointed by the President of the National Health Fund.
