The Federation of Health Unions and the Medical Federation have signed a new collective agreement with the ministry of health that will run until April 2024. There are substantial pay increases on monthly salaries for doctors and nurses which both the trade unions and government hope will attract new workers to the sector and encourage them to remain in the country. Doctors will get an increase of BGNB 800 (€400) with BGN 550 (€280) for health professionals and BGN 200 (€100) for nurses.
