In Bulgaria, this issue is particularly pressing due to limited public resources, disparities in the regional distribution of medical services, significant socio-economic inequalities, and, in recent years, the influence of the political climate.
This study focuses on identifying the practices and mechanisms used to allocate limited healthcare resources in the country, as well as assessing the extent to which the existing regulatory framework ensures fairness, transparency, and efficiency.
The research team aims to lay the groundwork for an in-depth dialogue among all stakeholders to develop fairer and more effective mechanisms for distributing resources within Bulgaria’s healthcare system.
