Bulgarian Prime Minister Takes Action on 'Mama I Az' Hospital
Acting Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev is poised to address critical issues plaguing children's healthcare in Bulgaria, particularly regarding the "Mama I Az" hospital.
The Bulgarian Doctors Union declared Wednesday cautious support for the ousted Health Minister, Anna-Maria Borisova, saying her resignation is an act that deserves respect.
The Chief Secretary of the Union, Dr. Dimitar Lenkov, spoke for the Bulgarian National Radio, BNR, in the aftermath of Borisova's resignation, saying she was obstructed in her work and in her effort to implement the much needed health care reform mainly by Finance Minister, Simeon Djankov.
A month ago, the Union declared Djankov a threat to the health care sector and stated he is the one hampering the reform.
"It is not important if the name of the Minister is Borisova or someone else, what is important is the individual, who has been very stubborn in releasing the health care funds. It does not matter who will inherit her if there are no funds for health care. In this situation nothing good will happen in the sector," Lenkov said.
The Chief Secretary reiterated the Union wants Djankov's ousting first and foremost and they stand firm behind their decision to organize a country-wide protest rally of doctors on October 15.
Borisova is stepping down only a few months after she took over from her predecessor Bozhidar Nanev, who resigned at the end of March 2010 over a conflict of interest investigation.
