BGN 800 for an ambulance for a 3-year-old child from Golden Sands  - 1

Continuation of the case with the "golden" medical aid on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. Not 1,500 leva, but 13 euros for a child's examination, but in Greece - that's how much our compatriot pays after an accident with his 6-year-old son.

Meanwhile, new signals are coming in about the cost of the health of the Bulgarian sea.

Less than two weeks ago, Vladimir and his family were on vacation in Kavala. His six-year-old son falls and hits his head. And they go to the emergency room, reported BNT.

"They sewed him up with three stitches, took two X-rays of his head and consulted a pediatrician. When I say "consults" doesn't mean just asking him if everything is okay – the examination lasted for at least fifteen minutes", says Vladimir. Parents don't ask about the price. They understand from the invoice that they owe thirteen euros.

In "Golden Sands", where the latest cases with expensive reviews are, a bTV reporter talks to Daria. Tells about a case 5 years ago.

"My son was 3 years old. Raised a temperature. We were advised to put it on systems. An ambulance was ordered for him to be taken directly to the hospital and the price was BGN 800, she says.

A large number of private medical centers along the sea do not have a contract with the National Health Insurance Fund. In these cases, the price is determined by the doctor. But there must be a price list, and in a visible place for the patient.
