Acute Shortage of Medical Professionals Adds Pressure to Bulgarian Healthcare System
More than 500 medical workers leave Bulgaria every year.
The BAHW (the Bulgarian Association of Hospital Workers) has launched an initiative aimed at creating an online portal for medical professionals from all over Bulgaria via which they will be able to exchange information in real time about the protocols concerning treatment of more grave cases or about COVID-19 patients with serious complications.
Bulgarian software companies are invited, who have an interest in contributing to the common cause at this difficult time, to help find a quick and convenient solution that can save human lives.
