"On May 6 – Day of Bravery and a holiday of the Bulgarian Army, we pay tribute to all Bulgarian soldiers who have shown unparalleled heroism in defending the freedom and independence of the Motherland. This is a day of appreciation for the worthy service of military personnel and to all who perform their duty with dedication – both on the battlefield and in the daily battle for human life.
The Military Medical Academy is not just a medical facility – it is an institution built on professionalism, valor and unconditional service to society.
I can proudly say that the medical staff of the Military Medical Academy are a symbol of modern heroism - both in hospital units and in international missions abroad, where they have proven their competence, humanity and courage. There, in conditions of risk and uncertainty, they do not just treat - they save, restore and inspire faith and give hope.
Happy St. George's Day, colleagues! You are the heart of the Academy! Thank you for every day in which you protect life with care and humanity! You are the force that moves the Military Medical Academy forward. I wish you health and happiness for you and your families!
Happy holiday to all who celebrate their name day today! Wear your name with pride!"
Major General Professor Dr. Ventsislav Mutafchiyski, MD, FACS
Head of the Military Medical Academy
