Minister Katya Ivkova plans important changes to Bulgarian healthcare
Minister of Health Katya Ivkova has announced new plans for reforms in Bulgaria's healthcare system. The main goal of these changes is to improve the quality of medical services and optimize the operation of hospitals in the country.
One of the main problems that Minister Ivkova commented on is the high out-of-pocket payments by patients. Currently, many people in Bulgaria are forced to pay significant sums for treatment, which hinders their access to quality healthcare. The ministry is looking for ways to reduce this financial burden on citizens.
A key element of the ministry's strategy is the introduction of a new quality assessment system. This system is expected to be fully ready and implemented by the end of the current year. It will allow for stricter control over the efficiency of medical institutions and will provide greater transparency for patients.
Minister Ivkova emphasized that the changes are necessary to restore trust in the healthcare system. The new measures are expected to lead to a better distribution of resources and a higher level of care for all Bulgarian citizens.
