Prof. Dr. Stanimir Sirakov received the Doctor of the Year award for 2023. He is part of the team of the Sofia-based St. Ivan Rilski Hospital and heads the "Interventional Radiology" department.
The recipient of the award stated: "I wish for a little more understanding and synchronicity in working with administrative bodies such as the Ministry of Health and the Health Insurance Fund, because without them we cannot introduce most things - they are innovative both for Europe and for the world, and the ultimate winner is the Bulgarian patient. Bulgarian patients should have access to this modern treatment, on time and carried out here in Bulgaria, not abroad."
Prof. Stanimir Sirakov is among the world's leading specialists in the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases. Dr. Sirakov performed the first innovative surgery for Bulgaria on a boy's brain through the vein in his leg.
