During the second month, Mangarov was not hired full time at the hospital, his salary was cut in half.

For more than a month, the head of the COVID ward at the Hospital for Infectious Diseases, Associate Prof. Atanas Mangarov, has received half salary because he continues to work part-time at the hospital.

The reason for this was that until November 20 he was in full contract with the Sofia Medical University as head of the Department of Infectious Diseases Hospitals, but then his term expired. After that, its director had to be appointed to the full hospital staff, but this did not happen for more than a month because, according to Associate Prof. Mangarov, the management listened and did not want to.

“Until November 20, I was the head of the Infectious Diseases Department and working full time at the Medical University. With us full time, there are only the department heads and everyone else has a quarterly contract, first as head. of the First Children’s Pavilion, and since the beginning of November as head of the COVID clinic, my term as head of department expired due to age and I had to go all over the state to the hospital and a room to the university. changed, but in the hospital I am still in the middle of a position, “Associate Professor Mangarov explained to” 24 Chasa. “

According to him, this change had to be ordered by the hospital management, Professor Tatiana Chervenyakova, but she refused to do so.

“This must be done by the hospital management, who is listening and does not want to do it,” he said, adding that he was offered a full-time job, but as an intern, and is the head of the COVID clinic.

Professor Chervenyakova declined to comment on the issue.
