Prof. Angelov in an emotional interview: We can’t go on like this anymore! – politics

The Minister of Health, Prof. Kostadin AngelovKostadin Angelov was born on June 7, 1977. He graduated from Sofia Medical University in 2004. He made perhaps his first such emotional and sincere interview since he took office as Minister of Health. On bTV, Professor Angelov called on all Bulgarians to show common sense and responsibility in the pandemic situation and, regarding medical establishments, threatened to start an inspection of Sofia hospitals tomorrow to find out if his order was carried out. Of disclosure. of COVID compartments. In the event of a failure, the Minister of Health insisted that severe penalties would be imposed.

Regarding the case in which a 33-year-old man with COVID-19 died while waiting for an ambulance team, Professor Angelov assured that if errors are found, the perpetrators of the tragedy will suffer the corresponding punishments and stressed that there will be no pets. .

Whoever breaks the rules is not for this system! There cannot be directors with their own rules. The orders that depend on me have been issued. No one can wait in the ambulance for hours! He must be taken to a hospital and examined. This is the procedure, everything else is simply absurd, said the Minister of Health.

“The situation is tense, we need more cars. Tomorrow I will have a meeting with all the private ambulances, about 100 in number in the capital, as well as a meeting with a taxi company to provide us with more cars. The idea is to take the people to the hospitals as soon as possible ”, he explained and assured that since last night in the territory of Sofia there is no problem with hospital beds.

There will be no forgiveness for anyone! A medical institution cannot explain that there is no planned activity, because, as you see, people would be deprived of help, which is an absolutely false statement. Emergency and urgent admission is not prohibited, deliveries are not prohibited. But first you will discover a COVID structure in the hospital and then you will think of other things. And the other thing is that it is not possible to explain in a medical institution where there is no planned activity how there are no people willing to get involved in the treatment of patients with COVID-19. Fear cannot guide us when making decisions. I definitely can’t agree that fear should guide us! A legal change is also needed here so that the doctor who took the Hippocratic oath cannot say that he will not enter the hospital to treat coronavirus patients because he was afraid. If there are not so many doctors, I will ask the deputies to remove their suits and go to the hospitals, Professor Angelov commented.

“Currently we are not considering austerity measures as in Western Europe. However, there will be a tight control on compliance with the current measures, and for this the RHI bodies will be strengthened. Why does the Bulgarian always seek to circumvent the law? This is normal, the unit is not supposed to do force … where is this unit? ” The Health Minister asked excitedly.

We are fighting a battle that is won with clearly defined rules that some people try not to follow … well, it won’t continue anymore! People must follow the measures, this is the most important thing: to realize their personal responsibility. This is not the time to go to shopping malls, restaurants, vacations, let’s limit all our social and physical contacts. The reason is what will save us, said Professor Angelov.

When asked about Prime Minister Boyko Borissov’s health condition, Minister Angelov said he could rate it as good.

Prime Minister Borissov’s health is good, as far as I can hear on the phone, and we are in touch 24 hours a day, Professor Angelov concluded in conclusion.
