Doctors and students protest this evening in Sofia in front of the Lozenets University Hospital, also known as the Governmental Hospital. The reason for the dissatisfaction are plans of the Ministry of Health for temporary merger of the medical institution with the Children's Specialized Hospital. The director of Lozenets Hospital, Radosvet Gornev, told reporters that he would not sign such a document. According to him, the protests would continue every day until the plans were withdrawn.
