All doctors at Sofia’s emergency care unit have resigned collectively to express their solidarity with the services’ head, who was dismissed by the health minister for mismanagement. The health minister asked for the resignation of the emergency service’s head and deputy after a 40 year old woman died while waiting over 40 minutes for an ambulance to arrive. The doctors, who are protesting outside the health ministry, say their heads are just scapegoats. They argue the real problem is that the service lacks financial, human and material resources to operate the care effectively.
