The representatives of the sector present indicated the limits for the activity of the hospitals, the shortage of personnel and insufficient funding as the main problems in health care. Mr. Bozhidar Vasilev emphasized that the problems in health care are not only of a financial nature. Regarding the lack of personnel, he pointed out that young professionals are looking not only for decent remuneration, but also for an environment and opportunities for their families, which in many cases is lacking. In this sense, it is important for young specialists what conditions are offered to them, especially in small towns, and remuneration is only in third place among their priorities.
The participants of the business council unanimously expressed their opinion that they should focus their efforts on improving awareness and interaction with institutions to solve the problems of lack of personnel.
