The pulmonary hospital in Bulgaira's Veliko Tarnovo, which also treats Covid-19 patients, was faced with closure after the New Year because of sick medical professionals and doctors who have given notice to leave.

The critical situation has so far been overcome thanks to post-graduate doctors who are undergoing specialist training and who take shits together with only two doctors who have remained in the hospital.

"The current situation is a little bit better thanks to several specializing colleagues from the private cardiology clinic and a colleague from the oncology clinic," said the hospital's manager Dr. Stella Dencheva. There are currently no applicants for the open positions in the medical institution in place of those who left, she added.
