Children's hospital now, children's hospital tomorrow, children's hospital here (NB - pictured is the field that has been approved), children's hospital there… What haven't we heard as a promise that we will have a children's hospital in recent… many years. Yes, many years of talking and doing nothing, nothing but gibberish at the political level. For any politician, this is a convenient topic because, you see, it is for the sake of the children. It promises – after all, we are generous with promises, promises and in the end nothing. The next health minister comes and he starts making promises. And so… We are still waiting to have a children's hospital.

What happened
A few days ago, the Council of Ministers first initially gave the “green light” to a private investor to build a children's hospital, then reversed his decision. That acting Prime Minister Glachvev even threatened with DANS and the prosecutor's office that they would investigate because he was misled… Let's see what comes out.

What was
Soon in studio “FACTS“ Lili Marinkova was visited by Dr. Stojcho Katsarski, who gave a more interesting look at things and, above all, explained why we don't have a children's hospital. Funds for the construction of a children's hospital were already secured during Boyko Borisov's third cabinet. A large part of the funding was provided by the Norwegian Fund – for the design, and the other larger part of the EU – for the construction. In other words – here's your money, build a children's hospital. According to today's calculations, the construction of a children's hospital will cost about BGN 100 million. But at the cabinet “Borisov” 3 nothing happens. When European funds are used, OLAF monitors. And then it is decided that it will be built with money from the budget. From the management of “Borisov” 3 how many years have passed… Just a detail. where is the hospital It's for the children, isn't it, we take care of the children.

Wherever it is
In Sofia, of course. It can't be in Sofia. Everything is in Sofia. And why does it have to be in Sofia? Interesting question. So a child from Silistra – we just give it as an example, but there is nothing personal about the city, or from Shumen, Varna, etc. will come to Sofia for treatment. They will travel, a parent will be with him if necessary. And why. Because the children's hospital is in Sofia. We didn't forget that everything is in Sofia. (note – see the video after 21 minutes) And the amount is BGN 100 million. We didn't forget the amount for the construction either.

If it is done so that BGN 20 million is invested in 5 regions to build good children's “mini hospitals”… Will it then be necessary to travel to Sofia? Why not have one children's hospital in 5 big cities, to which access will be many times easier. Is there any logic in this… We will not answer, but will leave the question open. It is for the sake of the children, for the sake of the treatment of the children, for the sake of the children's hospital. Until then… Until then, we'll have some pathetic children and a pathetic dream of a children's hospital, even though we already have a field (pictured)…
