Doctors at a number of hospitals in Bulgaria to stage symbolic protests
Doctors at a number of hospitals in Bulgaria will stage symbolic protests on their professional holiday, April 7 (World Health Day), over the new methodology of distribution of financing.
They have called on all of their colleagues to support the protest and express their discontent with the new methodology of distribution of financial resources among hospitals, stressing that, on the one hand, it reduces the amount of funding from last year’s, and, on the other hand, fixes he rate, according to Darik radio.
Medical care workers who plan to take part in the protest insist that these rules will lead to bankruptcies of a number of hospitals.
They claim that the methodology has been reversed, with the patient being forced to follow the money, instead of the money following the patient.
Doctors say that some hospitals have had their budget slashed by over 20% compared to last year’s.
