Less than 20% of the relatives of brain-dead patients in Bulgaria refuse to donate their organs, data from the executive agency Medical Supervision show.

According to the agency's deputy executive director, Dr Dimitar Iliev, a new transplant centre will start operating in Varna by the end of the year to take over donor situations from eastern Bulgaria.

Dr Iliev noted that medical teams in small towns fail to recognise donor situations as they lack experience.
