The biggest increase in next year’s health budget will be for outpatient care - for both primary and specialized care, Deputy Minister of Health and National Health Insurance Fund Supervisory Board Chair Michail Okoliyski said for BNR. ''The annual health check-up provides a much larger package of tests aimed at checking everyone's health status. If there is any sign of disease, it will be caught at an early stage and the person will be treated. We have also ensured biomarkers in cancer treatments, because until now they were not funded by the National Health Insurance Fund", added Michail Okoliyski.
According to Michail Okoliyski, people in Bulgaria usually seek medical help when the disease is advanced and this should change. Deputy Minister Okoliyski referred to statistics, according to which only one third of Bulgarians go for a medical check-up.
