The MP from the “BSP-United Left“ Dr. Desislav Taskov said that the protests of medical workers in recent days show that there is a problem in the system. “The budget that we adopted is needed for the state to work, but it's not the one we wanted. Despite most of the money in the sector, the structural reform for financing the entire system has not been changed“, he added in the program “The Day Live with Nadelina Aneva“ on NOVA NEWS.
According to him, the money that is provided for a patient who has passed through the emergency departments must undergo changes. “Now Emergency Medicine is mainly a commitment of the state. And it always carries a liability as much as other medical institutions save. In order to have a functioning and adequate medical system, it must be valued“, stressed Taskov.
“Let doctors receive according to what they work and not neglect their work and let it be at the expense of everything else“, urged the MP and added that medical workers are leaving their posts en masse.
According to him, it is not appropriate for the National Health Fund to finance psychiatric hospitals. “Financing should continue with real valuation to the Ministry of Health“, Taskov pointed out and emphasized that the problem in the sector is its neglect for a long time.
“I believe and will work to ensure that by the end of this year there will be the requested increase in salaries in psychiatric wards, as was agreed to with state psychiatric hospitals“, the MP was categorical.
Dr. Taskov has adopted the cause of free antibiotics and medicines against viral infections for young children up to 7 years of age. “We are confident that this will be possible from the summer“, he said.
Regarding the dispute over whether private hospitals should go through an auction when purchasing medicines, Taskov expressed his personal opinion. “When more than 50% of a hospital's revenue comes from public resources, it must meet the same conditions. This decision should not be made spontaneously“, he noted.
