"The conferment of the first officers' rank is above all a responsibility that for you will be measured every day by the health and lives of the people in the army and the citizens of the Republic of Bulgaria and by your dedication to the country." 

With these words President Rumen Radev addressed the cadets of the specialty "Medical support of the Armed Forces" of the Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy. 

"Three well-established institutions - the Higher Naval School, the Medical University in Varna and the Military Medical Academy - have joined their efforts to reach this significant day, on which for the first time military medics who have both military and medical education are graduating," Minister of War Todor Tagarev said in his turn, voicing his hopes that there will be similar cooperation on other occasions for the good of Bulgaria.
