In an online discussion, young people from Pazardzhik called on MPs to initiate legislative changes for the treatment of Bulgarians with rare diseases who have already turned 18.

The reason for their request is their classmate who suffers from cystic fibrosis. The girl needs medication and lung transplant, but does not receive help from the state because she is an adult.

The young people define their initiative as a battle for the lives of all Bulgarians who face this problem, our correspondent in Pazardzhik Nevena Petrova reported.
