Nurses from different parts of the country will go on an indefinite protest tomorrow and will set up a tent camp in front of the Ministry of Health in Sofia. 

"The authorities absolutely neglect medical professionals," commented Maya Ilieva, chairwoman of the Union of Bulgarian Medical Specialists. She explained that only doctors are a party to the National Framework Agreement and medical specialists are again excluded. 
"Institutions neglect abuses and violations of the rules in the system," Maya Ilieva added. 
According to her, no one pays attention to the fact that the medical specialists have not rested for a long time, that they are exhausted, and there is no one to work.
