The Bulgarian government has decided to appoint two more deputy ministers in the healthcare ministry. They will support the implementation of activities to limit the spread of the epidemic of Covid-19 in Bulgaria, BTA reported.

The Minister of Health Kostadin Angelov gathered the professional unions of doctors and pharmacists and reconciled their positions on the lack of medicines. In case of shortage or lack of a certain medicine, it will be possible to replace it in pharmacies with its analogue - a generic product that has the same amount of the same active ingredient as the original medicine.
