The director of the children’s ward of the Sofia Hospital for Infectious Diseases, Assistant Professor Dr. Atanas Mangarov, believes that the health system in Bulgaria has collapsed due to jeeps. According to him, GPs “abandoned the game out of fear” and all the pressure fell on hospitals, flagman.bg reported.

“Unfortunately, the main pillar of medical care in our country, pre-hospital care, collapsed. GPs got out of the game out of fear and hospitals overflowed. When someone has symptoms now, nobody wants to see them. They tell them: go to take a test. The positive remains. alone at home and the only way to be treated is to go to the hospital, because he communicates with the jeep only by phone, “Prof. Asoc. Mangarov commented at a meeting in Plovdiv.

He stressed that the virus is not dangerous for young, healthy and strong people, as well as for children, but for the first time he recognized that it is a serious threat to the elderly. Some time ago Associate Professor Mangarov defined them as “dry twigs”, but today he has a different opinion.

“This group must be protected, but not closed, but explained, spoken. Complete isolation for them will be catastrophic because they need to communicate. However, for adults with chronic health problems that are controlled. The virus is not dangerous,” he commented the infectious disease specialist.


He noted that there are currently two ways to combat the pandemic in the world. The first is with the isolation of the sick at home and the healthy go to work and school. The second is Chinese, with the closure of cities and districts.

“Then the economy goes to the movies. The moment the measures relax, all history repeats itself,” Mangarov said. According to him, the most appropriate measures were in Sweden and Belarus. In the first country with a population of 10-11 million, some 5,000 people died, with an average age of more than 85 years. Sweden now has the lowest number of infected people and deaths. According to Mangarov, massive tests in our country now make no sense. It had to be done in March, at the beginning of the pandemic. “Now, the more tests are done, the more infected there will be,” he added.
