In a landmark decision, the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Bulgaria has approved an additional transfer of BGN 5,506,596 to the Burgas Municipality for the construction of the Multi-profile Hospital for Active Treatment of Children’s Diseases “St. Anastasia” in Burgas.
The funding, drawn from the central budget’s capital expenditures for 2024, underscores the government’s commitment to improving pediatric healthcare in the country.
The “St. Anastasia” hospital, which will exclusively cater to children, has been recognized as a top priority in Bulgaria’s Investment Program for National Projects.
Designed as a state-of-the-art facility, it aims to deliver highly specialized and comprehensive care, addressing the pressing need for a dedicated pediatric medical center in the region.
A Strategic Step for Southeastern Bulgaria
The decision to establish this facility is expected to transform pediatric healthcare services in the Burgas district and the broader Southeastern region of Bulgaria.
The hospital will provide timely and high-quality treatment to young patients, centralizing advanced care in one location and reducing the need for families to travel long distances for specialized pediatric services.
“Children are the foundation of our future, and ensuring their health and well-being is a critical priority,” a government spokesperson said in a statement. “This hospital will serve as a beacon of hope for families, offering world-class care close to home.”
The facility will feature cutting-edge medical technology, specialized treatment units, and a team of highly trained healthcare professionals dedicated to addressing a wide range of pediatric illnesses.
By consolidating resources into a single advanced hospital, the government aims to raise the standard of pediatric care and better respond to complex medical cases.
Filling a Critical Healthcare Gap
Currently, families in the Burgas district and surrounding areas face significant challenges in accessing comprehensive pediatric care. Many are forced to seek treatment in larger cities, which can delay critical medical interventions.
The new hospital is expected to alleviate this burden, providing specialized services locally and improving outcomes for young patients.
“This is a significant step forward for the region,” said Dimitar Nikolov, Mayor of Burgas. “The construction of ‘St. Anastasia’ will not only enhance the quality of care but also strengthen our healthcare infrastructure for generations to come. It reflects our shared commitment to safeguarding the health of our children.”
Funding and Future Prospects
The allocated funds are part of a broader national initiative to improve healthcare infrastructure across Bulgaria. By channeling capital expenditures from the central budget, the government is ensuring that the project has the necessary resources to proceed without delay.
Construction is expected to begin in the coming months, with officials pledging transparency and efficiency throughout the process.
Once completed, the hospital is anticipated to become a model for pediatric care in Bulgaria, setting a benchmark for similar projects in other regions.
With the “St. Anastasia” hospital, the Bulgarian government is taking a decisive step toward addressing longstanding healthcare challenges and ensuring that children in Burgas and beyond receive the care they deserve.
