The Bulgarian Union for Medical Assistants and Paramedics (BSLAF) announced that it supports the envisaged legal changes to increase the salaries of nurses and midwives, but insists that this should be regulated for all categories of medical professionals. The Union sent its opinion to the Health Committee of the National Assembly, which is preparing the change.

BSLAF insists that the promotion should affect the profession of "Medical Assistant" and that the minimum wage should be consistent with the professional qualification. Medical assistants have the right to diagnose, treat and prescribe therapy. They work in emergency services, in schools and in remote and hard-to-reach settlements. Currently, there is a shortage of such specialists.
