The most significant project for Southeastern Bulgaria – the construction of the Multiprofile Children's Hospital in Burgas is in its final stage.
“This is my great hope for next year. The most meaningful project, the biggest dream, the biggest challenge” – wrote the mayor of the seaside city, Dimitar Nikolov, on social media on the holiday.
77 million leva have been invested in the construction and equipment of the hospital.
“The path to the full realization of the children's hospital in Burgas is not over yet, but no one can stop us now,” wrote Mayor Dimitar Nikolov.
The construction of the hospital will provide comprehensive treatment and accessible medical care for children throughout Southeastern Bulgaria. The health facility will have 142 beds and a pediatric emergency department. And what procedures remain until the completion of the project, explains Mayor Nikolov:
“We are about to receive the certificates – for Act 14, Act 15, Act 16. To receive a certificate of fitness from the commission of the Ministry of Health. Immediately after that, perhaps at the beginning of next year, we will ask for a contract with the Health Insurance Fund.
If we receive these documents, we are practically ready to start work, we depend on the licenses and permits that various institutions and instances must issue to us in order to have such activity”.
The children's hospital in Burgas is a telling example of a cause that can unite politicians from across the spectrum, the mayor of Burgas also pointed out: “Including the last three years of repeated parliamentary elections, all representatives of political parties, including municipal councilors, unanimously supported the project of the children's hospital – an example of when there is something meaningful, behind which, when we unite, things happen”.
The procedures for recruiting staff for the children's hospital are ongoing. The applications submitted so far are over 400. A competition for the manager of the health facility has also been announced.
