After the new leadership of Pirogov Hospital announced the end of the protests in front of the medical institution, medics and former patients gathered in front of the presidency. "Their protest is not in defense of fired director Prof. Asen Baltov, but against the defamation of the name of the hospital," BNR reporter Darina Grigorova informed.
