Dr. Madjarov: No staffing measures will remain three times less doctors
If years ago we were faced with a threat of serious shortages of doctors, now I regret to note that this is the new reality. And when we talk about healthcare, reforms in the sector, this is the first and most important thing to keep in mind. This was said the President of BLS Dr. Ivan Madjarov during the ninth National Fork Forum of "Manager".
"At present doctors y above are just over 31,700. It may sound good at the backdrop of the country and the population in Bulgaria, but if we look more deeply and actually what we need to pay serious attention is The age structure of doctors, "said Dr. Madjarov and pointed out that over 66% of doctors in Bulgaria were over 50 years old. The situation in general practitioners (GP) in Bulgaria is even more worrying. According to BLS data in Bulgaria, 3661 GPs, and over 88% of them are over 50 years of age. The average age of them is 58 years and 36% of them are over 65, the BMA Chairman also commented. Dr. Madjarov pointed out that under 50 was only about 30% of the doctors in our country and practically lacked this segment of young and energetic doctors between 30 and 50 years of age. In his words, there is a risk after 15 years in the system to have nearly three times fewer doctors or about 10,000 and not in young age.
"Against the foregoing and considering that medicine in Bulgaria, no more than 1,000, part of which go to abroad is more than clear that we can not fill the missing staff. This means that in the next few years, against the backdrop of a doctor is set up for a minimum of 6 years, the reality we will face is the beginning of the 20th century. This is not just anxious, here we talk about a catastrophe, "Dr. Madjarov was.
According to him, non-traditional, even shocking measures are needed to master the staff crisis, which in a global problem. Especially given the mortality among doctors in recent years, which has doubled. Or if in 2017. was 412, in 2018. - 318, in 2019, It is 424, in 2020. - 505, and in 2021. jumps to 723.
"In order to stay young physicians in Bulgaria, they should know that the labor assessment is given not only to work but also quality achieved. When a doctor knows that in our state, practicing its profession will be assessed on the basis of results, on the basis of what achieves in its practice, this is the thing that fills the work of the physician and we are "for" this at last To happen, appreciate our activity according to the results, "Dr. Madjarov was categorically.
