Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria's (CC-DB) top priorities in healthcare include a substantial reduction of co-payments from people's pockets, improving quality and access to medical care and providing medical specialists in every corner of Bulgaria, said one of the coalition's MP candidates in Vratsa (Northwest Bulgaria), Denitsa Simeonova, after meetings with supporters at the market in Mezdra.

Healthcare should be a top priority of any government, she added. Simeonova stressed that the salaries of doctors and nurses are still not high enough. She noted that an 85% increase for young doctors and 90% for nurses was secured on CC-DB's intitiative.

"Our coalition is committed that this policy of taking care of medical workers will continue by linking their salaries to the growth of the average wage," Simeonova said.
