With 95 votes in favor, 31 against and 22 abstentions, the National Assembly approved in second reading the amendments to the Law of Medical Establishments, BNT reported. During the discussions, the BSP declared that it would not support it, arguing that it is inadmissible for hospitals to be equated with public companies and for the directors of the most important medical institutions in Bulgaria to be chosen by the Public Companies Agency.
To date, the boards of directors and supervisory boards of public companies classified as “large” consist of at least five members and, according to the Medical Establishments Act, the board of directors of state hospital care medical establishments consists of three members. The deputies agreed to maintain the requirement that the boards of directors of state medical institutions for hospital care be made up of three members, regardless of whether the medical institution falls into the category of “large” public companies. The objective is to guarantee operational flexibility in management decision-making and to create an opportunity to save the remuneration of the management bodies of medical institutions.
The changes adopted today allow the executive directors of university hospitals to teach at the respective medical universities. In practice, most of the executive directors of university hospitals teach at the respective medical universities, so without the texts adopted today, their ability to participate in the training of students, doctoral candidates and specialists in the field of medicine it will be limited and they will be placed in discriminatory conditions. compared to other doctors who work in hospitals for employment.
Due to the exhaustion of the agenda, the deputies went on vacation until 11 in the morning, when the parliamentary control begins, and before that they approved without debate the reforms to the Law of Professional Organizations of Nurses, Midwives and Associated Medical Specialists, that modify the health law. They foresee that national centers for public health problems will be able to distribute up to 40% of their own income for additional material incentives for employees and up to 60% for postgraduate training and acquisition of tangible fixed assets.
