Prof. Iana Simova: Prime Minister Glavchev is post-factum looking for arguments for his NULL AND VOID Decision No 319 of May 1 from SANS and the prosecution!

by Professor Yana Simova MD, Ph.D. – with over 500 publications in the world’s major scientific medical journals, Director of the Bulgarian Cardiac Institute

What “facts” […] “came out in the public”, Mr. Prime Minister, “that we had no way of knowing about and we immediately reacted to!”. How do these “facts” and “suspicions” of yours of May 6th threaten national security so much that you will activate the SANS and the prosecutor’s office?

In all my conscious life I have adored the medicine of evidence and justice, and the administration of justice by evidence. You single-handedly, without a gram of justification, tried to overturn on May 1st the decision No 318 of 30 April to authorise the new state-of-the-art multi-profile hospital “Mama and I” in Sofia, which you yourself acknowledged, repeatedly then and afterwards, to be perfectly lawful – by issuing the NULL AND VOID Decision No 319. No judgement or judgement by default was made on May 1, 2024 at 10:35 p.m.! This sets a unique and even shameful precedent in healthcare administration and government!

Instead of congratulating and even rewarding Dr. Kondeva, Dr. Penkov, Mrs. Dineva, Prof. Kolarov, Dr. Dobreva and all the qualified officials and medical specialists in the Ministry of Health who have worked on the file for two years, coordinated without objection by all departments, agencies and services in the executive branch, you now call SANS and the prosecutor’s office to investigate “suspicions” and “facts” known only to you. It would be better to spare the long and costly trials for the responsibility of the state in Sofia and abroad by simply acknowledging the NULL AND VOID Decision No 319 of 1 May this year.

When you accept the invitation of the experts of the first, in the last five decades, newly built clinic for maternal and children’s health “Mama and I” to visit us in Pleven, we will have the opportunity to discuss your “facts” and “suspicions” and even more important – we will draw the real ways to accelerate the development of Bulgarian healthcare. Well, we will also save the working time of the SANS agents who, like the majority of the Bulgarian people, fail to get their regular health check-ups.
