Bulgaria's Health Minister has voiced strong criticism against the Health Investment Company, the entity tasked with the construction of the National Children's Hospital. The company, established in 2020, has yet to commence any building activities for the long-awaited facility.

Adding to the concerns, the Health Minister highlighted that the team within the Health Investment Company has reportedly not undertaken any projects since the company's inception. This lack of demonstrable progress has fueled frustration and raised questions about the company's capacity and commitment to delivering the hospital.

The National Children's Hospital has been a subject of public anticipation and political discussion for years. The delay in its construction, attributed to the perceived inaction of the Health Investment Company, is seen as a significant setback for the country's healthcare infrastructure, particularly for pediatric services.

Further details regarding the specific nature of the criticism and the potential consequences for the company were not immediately available. However, the Minister's public remarks signal a growing dissatisfaction with the project's management and underscore the urgency required to move forward with the hospital's development.
