The National Assembly elected Assen Medzhidiev as Deputy Governor of the NHIF
The National Assembly has elected Assen Medzhidiev as the new Deputy Governor of the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF). The decision was made following prolonged and heated debates among the members of parliament in the plenary hall.
Medzhidiev's election is an important step for the management of the healthcare system in Bulgaria. As deputy governor of the institution, he will actively participate in the management of public funds allocated for healthcare and the provision of medical services to citizens.
Before taking this post, Assen Medzhidiev gained experience in healthcare management, including serving as caretaker Minister of Health in previous cabinets. His professional background was a key argument for the support of his candidacy by some of the political forces.
Although the vote involved serious discussions, the new leadership of the NHIF has the task of ensuring stability in the fund's operations. The institution is expected to continue working according to the planned budgets and to oversee the proper distribution of resources in the sector.
It remains to be seen what Medzhidiev's first steps in his new position will be and how the changes in leadership will affect the quality of healthcare services in the country.
