Minister of Health Prof. Kostadin Angelov declared he was ready to meet with the nurses and discuss their professional demands with them. 

Prof. Angelov made this statement in Rousse in connection with the indefinite protest by nurses in front of the Ministry of Health building. Minister Angelov was in Rousse to meet with hospital managements. 

Kostadin Angelov said further that he doubted there was discontent among nurses on a national scale, and pointed out that he had not met with any such discontent during his travels around the country. In his words nurses’ salaries depend on the executive directors of the medical institutions.

“The measures the government has taken in the context of the pandemic will lead to an increase in the budgets of the medical establishments,” Minister Angelov pointed out, BNR’s correspondent in Rousse Asya Pencheva reports.
