Investigation after the tragedy in Nesebar
The Ministry of Health has ordered an immediate and comprehensive investigation into the "Medical Supervision" Executive Agency and the Emergency Medical Center in Burgas. The purpose of the investigation is to clarify all the circumstances that led to the tragic incident in which a child died in Nesebar. The tragedy, in which a child fell during a parachute flight, shook the public and raised serious questions about the adequacy of the emergency services' response.
According to the press center of the health ministry, the first ambulance sent to the scene was with a pre-doctor team. It was the closest to the scene of the accident. The ministry emphasizes that the team was fully equipped to provide emergency medical care and immediately began resuscitation measures. These actions continued until the arrival of a second ambulance, which had a resuscitation team. This information from the health authorities aims to refute the growing public doubts about the timeliness and quality of the assistance provided.
Discrepancies between the official position and witness testimonies
Despite the ministry's official position, accounts from eyewitnesses at the scene of the incident paint a different picture. According to witnesses, the first ambulance arrived with a critical delay - about 20 minutes after the signal was given. Even more alarming is the claim that when the doctor arrived, he stated that the case was not for his team and he could not do anything due to a lack of resuscitation equipment.
These testimonies drastically differ from the information provided by the Ministry of Health, which necessitates a more in-depth analysis of all the facts.
Expectations for transparency and reforms
An investigation is currently underway to determine whether the actions of all involved units were timely and consistent. The coordination between the individual teams, which proves to be a key element in such life-saving situations, will also be checked. The ministry promises that the results of the investigation will be made public after it is completed, in order to guarantee full transparency and restore public trust.
The tragedy in Nesebar once again puts on the agenda the issue of the effectiveness of the emergency medical care system in the country. Such incidents inevitably lead to calls for reforms and stricter control over the activities of medical teams. The Ministry of Health expressed its deep condolences to the family of the child who lost his life, but at the same time, the public expects not only sympathy, but also concrete answers and measures to prevent such tragedies in the future.
