In an interview with bTV on Sunday, Health Minister Silvi Kirilov said that the demands of young doctors are justified. “There is a working group in place, and it has already held one meeting with them. We have also met with the rectors of the medical schools. A discussion with healthcare employers is forthcoming,” Kirilov said.

He said that the working group's task is to draft proposals based on the demands. These will then be subject to public discussion, Kirilov said, adding that a minimum timeline of three months is set for this process.

Kirilov said that the euro changeover will not lead to an increase in medicine prices. He noted that a mobile app is already available to help patients monitor prices.

Earlier in July, a roundtable discussion in the National Assembly brought together medical residents and MPs to discuss proposals for increasing the salaries of healthcare professionals. Speaking to reporters following the meeting, Committee on Health Chair Kostadin Angelov said that political parties represented in Parliament have until July 14 to submit their proposals to the Committee on Health, after which each suggestion will be reviewed in detail before a final draft is submitted by July 28.
