Let's see the texts, what their idea is, and if we are not satisfied, we will continue the protests, we will not give up. This was said in the program "From the Day" on BNT Vasilena Dimitrova, a medical student and representative of the protesting young doctors, after earlier today the parliament rejected the initially adopted bills for doctors. The majority's proposal is to include this in the Health Fund Budget Act for 2026, which is due to be submitted by October 31.
Today it was mentioned that we will receive the 150% of the average salary we requested through the budget, said Dimitrova, adding that although he did not name specific numbers, it was understood from the words of the chairman of the health commission, Kostadin Angelov from GERB, that he promises that the doctors' request will be fulfilled.
We will always stand behind increasing the salaries of anyone in the sector. People in the sector want salaries to be on a market basis - to receive as much as they earn. But young doctors do not complete clinical paths and we want to have a minimum that we can live with normally. I believe that this will be implemented, she pointed out.
However, during today's discussions, it became clear that the texts for incentives for retraining young doctors have disappeared. No one mentions a word about them. We expect the coalition, which promises to solve our problems, to see the texts of this bill, Vasilena Dimitrova also said.
