A new rehabilitation center for people with disabilities will operate in the metropolitan area "Slatina".

Deputy Mayor for Social Activities and Integration of People with Disabilities Nadezhda Bacheva explained that the capacity of the center is 30 places, specifies the BNR.

"The specific thing about this center is that for the first time it also has substitute care, that is, people will be able to leave their relatives when they have to enter a hospital. This is the first such place in Sofia, so I am extremely happy. I want to note that when I came, the place was deserted. One of the first things they told me is that we are losing €1.2 million in funding because the service has not started, so the efforts of colleagues, with quite a lot of hard work, this center is now a fact. Substitute care is at night, that is, they can stay for say a few days.
