Dr. Ivan Madjarov: 63% of the doctors in Bulgaria are over 50 years of age
"For many years, specialists have convinced us that there are not only enough doctors in Bulgaria, but even even compared to European countries, they are more per capita. No one paid attention to the age structure and perspective in the next 5, 10, 15 years. Now that it's too late, we have to admit: there are no longer doctors in Bulgaria. Only we think there are. There are no nurses either. There will be no one in the next two years, because the nurses in their mass are over 60 years of age, "said BLS Chairman Dr. Ivan Madjarov during the discussion" Hospital after Covid-19-a chance for transformation "organized by organized by Bulgarian Hospital Association and Investor Media Group.
He announced that currently doctors in Bulgaria are 31 356, of which 63% are over 50 years of age. The average age of doctors is 53 years.
"In just 10 years, 60% will be in retirement age. If we followed inflation and raised prices properly, we would now raise prices by only 10%. Currently, medical activities need a 100% increase in prices to cover something we have practically lost over the years, "added Dr. Madjarov.
