A protest by medical professionals took place in front of University Hospital Burgas. Nurses, midwives, lab technicians, and rehabilitation specialists came out with protest ribbons and banners, demanding fair pay and clear rules for the formation of remuneration in 2026.
Dozens of employees left their jobs for an hour – in a sign of dissatisfaction with the lack of specifics in the draft budget of the NHIF.
The specialists warned that frozen incomes and the lack of perspective lead to a serious outflow of staff and put the health system at risk.
