"Over the years, huge health imbalances have accumulated, the whole system needs to be reviewed and order to come in," added Kunchev. In his words, pay is only one of the problems to which the factor with a lack of opportunities for professional growth can be added.
Dr. Angel Kunchev reported a serious shortage of cadres for parasitologists, virologists, microbiologists, epidemiologists.
