A Burgas hospital refused to admit a coronavirus patient due to lack of beds. A woman from Nessebar was taken by ambulance between different settlements and returned home.

Over the phone, an employee explained that there were no beds available in the hospitals for the treatment of COVID patients and that even if the patient were transferred, they would not be admitted for treatment. A recording of the telephone conversation was provided to bTV.

“- We call all the hospitals about your case and there are no free beds anywhere.
Todor Marvakov: Tell us what to do, tell me what to do and I’ll do it! Should I want a helicopter, how do I know if I should call Boyko Borissov?

Thus began the dismantling of hospitals for women diagnosed with the virus a few days ago.

“She goes to the doctors, but they return her, yesterday they came with an ambulance, they took her, they brought her back. They bring her sick, infected with the virus, we have a small child, we have a disabled person. She has difficulty breathing, so it’s serious, “said Olga Panayotova. aunt of the patient who returned.

Family members of the patient are concerned.

“I did not expect such a thing, refusing to accept the girl. Masks are constantly being hawked to put on and come back sick, infected with the virus,” complained Olga Panayotova.

The patient’s employer also began seeking medical help.

Todor Marvakov, speaks to the Emergency Service:

“Why are you engaged, I don’t know!” We can send an ambulance, they’ll take her to the first hospital, we’ll call back. They will tell us there are no beds!

Todor Marvakov: Please give!

“And we will take her home.” This is what I can tell you. We will take her to Burgas and take her back to Nessebar. Write down the address, thank you very much, hear from me!

The health inspection has no explanation why hospitals refuse if there are free beds.

“About 60 free beds, I say this because they can be changed from today or at the end of the working day, but we have free beds in the Burgas region,” said Dr. Georgi Pazderov, director of RHI-Burgas.

– Why employees in Urgent help tell, that there is no such Beds?

– This will establish the inspection, I want to know why, who and how gave such explanations over the phone, as well as why the hospital refused to accept or provide medical care ?, added Dr. Georgi Pazderov.

The ambulance told bTV that they were conducting an internal inspection. The minister also commented on the case. He says that this cannot happen if he does not lie down and that he will not allow it.

The Ministry of Health will also handle the case.

Last week on bTV News we told you about the problem of the lack of free beds for patients with COVID. Since then, by order of the RHI, their number has doubled, from 86 to 166.
