A decision of the government from its meeting on April 30 to give the green light to the construction of a private general hospital "Mom and Me" with over 400 beds sparked discussions in the society. The medical facility, which includes a pediatric department with 40 beds, will be able to work with the Health Insurance Fund and will offer treatment to both children and adults.
The decision was taken against the backdrop of decades of stalling of a project to build the much-needed National Children's Hospital in Bulgaria. The Public Council for the Construction of a National Children's Hospital stated that the decision on the private hospital was voted in a complete lack of transparency and undermined the creation of a National Children's Hospital. The council recalls that according to the analyzes, just in Sofia and in the region there is a lack of 123 doctors with a pediatric profile.
In his position, President Rumen Radev announced that with this decision, the caretaker cabinet contributed to the consolidation of the practice of health care working on the principle of profits, and not for public benefit.
