Dr. Atanas Mangerov before FACTS: From this whole saga with the children's hospital, someone will return a lot of money  - 1

From this whole saga with the children's hospital, someone is going to get a lot of money back. A moratorium on banning the opening of new private hospitals is being discussed, isn't it? And all this is done right before Easter, but it is done, you see, for the children. The question is how to dress everything in children's clothes, for children… So anyone who says something else, they start to answer him that whoever doesn't want a hospital wants the children to die, doesn't want a hospital for the children. It's kind of convenient. This was announced to Lili Marinkova in the studio "FACTS". and the show “Conversation“ the infectious disease specialist Dr. Atanas Mangarov.

“Otherwise, we are talking about a private hospital, which - anyway, will have to support itself, make a profit. How do private hospitals make money? They have two sources, they all do. They are private, but attached to the Health Insurance Fund. The second is that in the case of a part of a hospital, when the owner is one, he has the right to introduce any possible charges and other payments to the hospital. So the hospital takes money along the way from the Health Insurance Fund, and you pay the hospital and another amount that comes from above. Above what is on the Health Insurance Fund. Look, health care is the biggest business in the country right now. The budget of the Health Fund is over 8 billion. But those over 8 billion are available money! It's something that has it. To be able to row from this landing, you must have a spoon. This spoon is called – hospital. But all this applies not only to private hospitals, but also to state ones”, the infectious disease expert also shared.

“The question of who will be the director of “Pirogov” reached the Council of Ministers, which is incredible. Otherwise, the project for this new children's hospital was on the desk of the last Minister of Health Prof. Hinkov for a long time, but he did not sign it. Now the caretaker minister, Dr. Galya Kondeva, is proposing it and will most likely take it. Someone will be blamed. Otherwise, from a political point of view, now is the time when this could have passed between the drops, but it didn't happen”, Dr. Mangerov also said.
