: The Bulgarian Minister of Health charged with embezzlement

The Bulgarian Minister of Health, Bojidar Nanev, was charged Tuesday of squandering public funds for the purchase of vaccines against H1N1, for an amount considered too high and whose delivery was too late, said prosecutors in Sofia.

"Mr. Nanev has prejudiced the state to the tune of 2.5 million leva (1.28 million). The Ministry of Health was really able to get a more favorable contract " said Attorney Margarita Nemska. The Bulgarian government had ordered 200,000 doses of Tamiflu from Roche the Swiss laboratory for 6.5 million leva (3.3 million), while it had received an offer of around 2 million euros to the same amount, from the British health service, said the prosecutor. The latter said he had also accused a senior official of the Ministry of Health. Moreover, justified the prosecution, the vaccines were delivered only in January, a month and a half after the end of the influenza epidemic in Bulgaria. The prosecution was brought by health authorities British had protested and the Bulgarian anti-corruption service, because the doses of Tamiflu had been purchased regardless of the procedure governing public procurement.

Cold Sensitivity Month After Filling

regulations are

"I'm sending a letter to Roselyne Bachelot, announced Dr. Claudine Etilé, she must know the wrath of caregivers who have worked for the vaccination campaign H1-N1. "


retired physician, she was asked for the vaccination center of Lourdes. Like her, other practitioners deplore how the program was conducted and lowered the severance pay they were promised and that they are still not paid.

Why are you angry today?

In October, doctors, caregivers, have responded to this vaccination campaign and despite the many emails sent to the prefecture by several doctors in the department, it is still not paid. For my part, I have done only 30 hours, but other doctors have held continuously throughout the campaign by taking on their own time. The team nurse was also present and for some, it was an additional income. I think particularly of one of them is in precarious situations, and relied heavily on this money coming. Unfortunately, there must be others in the same situation. It's really unusual! I am even more astonished that the administrative staff who have worked with us have already paid them.

What criteria were you recruited?

Personally, I'm in retirement. I was first contacted by mail and by phone. Despite my family obligations, my correspondent was very insistent. I felt short-staffed. We have agreed a timetable of presence and this is only after this discussion I asked the amount of compensation. He told me that I will be compensated € 66 per hour, a sum which, throughout the campaign, half melted. I guess it must be the same for nurses. It is surprising and not very correct.

You expect a settlement for five months. How far will you go to be paid?

I contacted several of my colleagues who are also very unhappy with what happens. It was the idea of writing an open letter to the attention of Roselyne Bachelot to let him know our feelings, our dissatisfaction. We do not exclude to publish this letter in the press. Beyond the issue of payment, the Minister must also know that does not condone the mismanagement of staff. At Lourdes, two doctors, a plethora of nurses, it was really too crowded. Moreover, later in the season we were idle, it does not jostled to get vaccinated. Surround themselves with more guarantees next time. To ensure vaccination of the population, the prefecture has opened six centers in the county. On 12 November last year has started this campaign of prevention. If, after a slow start, these clinics were up in attendance, the amplitude of fast opening of these clinics and personnel needed for their operation have proved much greater than demand.
