The large majority of Bulgarian doctors are willing to change their work place, including working abroad.
The flash estimates come from a poll on the satisfaction of local doctors with their jobs, conducted by the international online project healthgrouper.com between March 2 and 14.
Half of the polled say they want to change jobs, while 78% are considering the option of working abroad.
90% of the respondents are strongly dissatisfied with the reforms in the healthcare sector, while 44% would never recommend the medical profession to young people.
Based on this data, healthgrouper estimate that about 5 000 from a total of 35 000 working in the country's healthcare would quit immediately given other opportunity.
The project groups top problems of Bulgarian doctors in five categories, based on the same data: low pay and the way the National Health Insurance Fund, NZOK, finances the sector, bureaucracy and partial and confusing reforms, lack of vision for the development of the sector, public and media attitude, and corruption in the sector.
The final results from the poll will be published at the end of March.
