General practitioners in Bulgaria consider launching effective protests in the end of November if the budget proposed by the National Health Insurance Fund is not approved by the Financial Ministry.
The budget for the GPs proposed by the Financial Ministry is BGN 46 million less than the Fund's proposition, chair of the Association of General Practitioners, Lyubomir Kirov, said.
The NHIF wanted the health budget for 2009 as whole to amount to BGN 2.3 B, but the ministry said they would approve a budget of BGN 1,9B.
"We cannot understand why this huge sum of BGN 400M must be set aside in NHIF's reserve in the Bulgarian National Bank. This is the money of health-insured people, which must be spent solely on production of health," Mr Kirov declared.
