"Regarding the care of patients with coronavirus during the third wave in Bulgaria, no one can complain - there are no returned patients, patients receive all necessary care." This was said to BNR by Prof. Asen Baltov, director of the Pirogov Hospital for Emergency Medicine in Sofia. He called on people to be more responsible in order to reduce the pressure on hospitals.
According to him, after the beginning of April, when a larger number of vaccines is expected to arrive in Bulgaria, everyone will have the opportunity to choose which type of vaccine to be immunized with. So far, the majority of vaccinations in Bulgaria are carried out with the AstraZeneca vaccine.
An investigation is underway into the death of a Greek student whose family claims he died in Pirogov hospital as a result of vaccination. Baltov clarified that before being admitted to the hospital, the student had suffered a traumatic accident at his home. The student is not registered in Bulgaria's vaccination register, which means that he has not been vaccinated in Bulgaria, Baltov said.
