On the International Nurses Day the Association of Bulgarian Nurses has submitted a petition of 12,000 signatures to the Bulgarian Council of Ministers, the Bulgarian National Assembly and the Bulgarian Ministry of Health demanding better working conditions and higher wages.

The hospitals cannot function as commercial companies and healthcare is not a trade, Maya Ilieva added.
