Bulgaria’s Health Minister Tanya Andreeva has assured that the planned 10% layoffs in state hospitals do not regard the doctors and other medical officials.
In a statement to the Bulgarian National Radio, Andreeva said that the layoffs would only apply to administrative personnel.
“For the last 4 years in the public administration have been appointed more than 10.000 people” she pointed out.
Bulgarian labor unions had alerted Wednesday about the Health Ministry planning 10% layoffs in state hospitals.
In a previous statement Andreeva said that actions of the Cabinet of the Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria party, GERB, of former Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, and his Deputy, Finance Minister, Simeon Djankov, had led to a blockage of the healthcare system, explaining that the hospitals' debt could be attributed mainly to inadequate financing and that she was seeking ways to improve that.
