Bulgaria needs at least three children’s hospitals in the near future, according to pediatrician Prof. Violeta Yotova.

The establishment of the National Children’s Hospital was among the topics discussed in the field of healthcare in the negotiations for future coalition government.

“The Children’s Hospital was invented 150 years ago and should be in Bulgaria, it’s high time,” said Prof. Violeta Yotova, who heads the Department of Pediatrics and Medical Genetics at MU Varna and the First Children’s Clinic at the University Hospital Sveta. Marina ”in a seaside town. And he gives an example with other countries:

“I recently had the opportunity to take part in an organized consultation by the British Embassy, ​​where their number shows that a certain number of children must have a certain number of children’s complex medical institutions serving them. This means for Bulgaria to have 7-8 such hospitals. We don’t have any.

One won’t work. We need, in the near future, at least three children’s hospitals, because it is there that the child feels at home – he does not meet with couches, with elderly sick people. We have resources, we have people. Good will remains. I think that in the next 50 years, society must come first, no matter what our systems, our preferences. “

When discussing the field of health care of the 4 parties, which are agreeing on a coalition government, it was agreed that the construction of a National Children’s Hospital should begin after analyzing the needs of children’s health care and the need for specialists.
