On the day of Annunciation, Kardzhali celebrated the groundbreaking of the new ‘Heart and Brain’ Center of Clinical Excellence

The first groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the Heart and Brain Center of Clinical Excellence was held today in Kardzhali. The symbolic start of the construction was given by Mayor of Kardzhali Erol Mumün and Prof. Toni Vekov, chairman of the board of directors.

The hospital is not only expected to provide better medical services for the region, but also to attract highly qualified specialists and stimulate the development of the health sector in the Eastern region of Bulgaria.

The hospital is expected to be operational by the end of 2027 and will encompass one hospital facility, a separate building for a diagnostic-consulting centre and a separate building for a pharmacy. So it really is one big hospital complex. This investment is about BGN 100 million, or at least BGN 100 million, BGN 60 million for the construction of the facilities and BGN 40 million for the purchase of equipment. It is also very important to say that the hospital will be of the third, highest level, that is to say, it will allow truly state-of-the-art treatment.

The hospital will not rely on local specialists, but on those who are already trained and being trained – from Burgas, from Pleven.
