Medical staff and employees of the Sofia Oncology Hospital are staging a protest rally for the second day in a row over the Health Ministry's decision to replace the clinic's Board of Directors.

The entire hospital team firmly opposes what they see as political reshuffle in the appointments of Dr. Petranka Kaneva and of Lasko Lazarov as members of the Board of Directors and the release from the Board of Lilyana Elenkova and Dr. Strashimir Karanov.

Petranka Kaneva is a former CEO of the cancer hospital, whose mandate was terminated early over established administrative breaches.

The rally started at 8:30 am Tuesday morning in the hospital's yard. Only those not caring for patients at the moment are attending, while the others are protesting symbolically.
