Bulgaria has done a lot for organ donation but still lags behind leading countries

In recent years, Bulgaria has achieved progress in relation to organ donation, but still lags far behind leading countries. This is what Deputy Minister of Health Vanyo Sharkov said during a round table discussion on the topic of organ donation and transplantation in Bulgaria - medical, legal and social aspects. Director of the Executive Agency for Transplantations Dr. Mariana Simeonova said that according to a study from 2014 conducted in various countries, Bulgaria ranks last in relation to share of GDP spent on healthcare, which inevitably affects donation, too. According to a research, 72 percent of Bulgarians believe that the information available related to organ donation and transplantation is not enough. In 2014, brain-dead donors in Bulgaria were 22, while in 2015 their number was 15, it was reported.
