Bulgarian woman left without access to treatment following a severe accident in North Macedonia
The case of Iva Mihaylova, who was severely injured in a road accident in North Macedonia, has sparked a serious public outcry in Bulgaria. The young woman was involved in a crash on the road between Kochani and Shtip last October, after which her health condition has remained critical.
Despite medical examinations being conducted, Iva Mihaylova has once again been denied a transfer to continue her treatment in Bulgaria. The victim's family is demanding urgent intervention, as they believe she is not currently receiving the necessary care to make a full recovery.
The situation raises questions regarding cross-border medical service procedures and cooperation between institutions in the two neighboring countries. Iva's relatives hope that by bringing public attention to the matter, they will be able to accelerate the process of her transport to a specialized hospital in her home country.
At this moment, the institutions have not provided an official comment regarding the specific reasons for the latest refusal. The case remains under observation as the family seeks legal and administrative avenues to ensure adequate treatment for the young woman.
