The National Assembly elected Asen Medzhidiev as Deputy Governor of the NHIF
The National Assembly has elected Asen Medzhidiev as the new Deputy Governor of the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF). The decision was made following prolonged and heated debates in the plenary hall between representatives of the various political groups.
Asen Medzhidiev is a well-known name in the healthcare sector. Prior to taking his current position, he served as Minister of Health in a caretaker government. His experience in managing the healthcare system was a key argument in support of his candidacy.
The election of a new deputy governor is an important step for the stability of the institution, which is responsible for the distribution of healthcare funds in Bulgaria. The NHIF manages the public resources used to pay for hospital treatment, medications, and specialist examinations for all health-insured citizens.
Medzhidiev is expected to take office immediately and become actively involved in the work of the Fund's management. His main priorities will be related to transparency in spending and improving access to quality medical services for patients in the country.
