The Council of Ministers reversed its decision last night for the construction of a private general hospital Mom and Me in Sofia, the government press service has announced. Earlier on Wednesday, caretaker Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev ordered the annulment of the decision to build a private children’s hospital which caused outrage among institutions, political parties and NGOS.
“Healthcare, especially children’s healthcare must develop as a priority for the country, and not as someone’s business,” commented on his part President Rumen Radev.
Caretaker PM Glavchev says he will hold accountable the people who submitted the decision for discussion by the cabinet, and will demand an explanation, in writing, from Health Minister Galya Kondeva of the facts and circumstances regarding the decision. Meanwhile the principal investor Commercial League announced it was abandoning the construction of a paediatric ward and changing the name of the prospective hospital
