About Professor Henryk Skarżyński

The Papal Medal

On 18 November 2013 in the House of the Warsaw Archbishop took place an unusual ceremony- presentation of the Papal Medal Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice for Professor Henryk Skarżyński. Ceremony was started by the sublime words of His Eminence Cardinal Kazimierz Nycz, the Warsaw Metropolitan. It has become an extremely important event, not only for Professor Henryk Skarżyński, but also for the whole medical and scientific community. When Cardinal Kazimierz Nycz was presenting the Papal Medal, he said: - Professor Skarżyński could connect two calling in his life, basic for every lay person in Church: the calling of the man who lives in the family and brings up his children with the calling of a man who choose a mission of a doctor. On this road he reached so much, that the whole Poland, Europe and the world use. Use his intellect, knowledge and wisdom.

"Every inch a professional"

„With genuine satisfaction I engaged to deliver the laud in honour of an exceptional person – Prof. Henryk Skarzynski. Since years, I have been watching his activity with great respect and recognition. Professor Skarżyński is an outstanding surgeon, otolaryngologist, audiologists and phoniatrician, precursor of innovative methods of diagnostics and treatment of hearing disorders and rehabilitation of patients suffering from these. ” Prof. Michał Kleiber

The book "Return of Beethoven"

"The idea of writing a novel was born several years ago. My patients were sometimes joking that if Beethoven had been alive in our times, I would have certainly known how to help him and could have done that. Although I am sure that the composer would have received the best help possible at the World Hearing Centre, the question that always preoccupied me was whether he would then have created so many beautiful pieces of work that people admire so much today. That thought eventually resulted in me starting the work on a script for a fiction film and a novel about the achievements of modern science, medicine and my patients, intertwined with Beethoven's autobiographical elements and memories." Prof. Henryk Skarżyński, author of the book.
