President Rumen Radev launched the 20th anniversary edition of the charity initiative "Bulgarian Christmas". At the Veliko Tarnovo Regional Hospital, the President, who is the patron of the campaign, announced that this year's initiative is dedicated to children with rare genetic diseases.

"Last year, the Bulgarian Christmas campaign collected a record budget of over 1.5 million euros. It supported 517 children with severe chronic diseases and donated equipment to 22 hospitals.
