Dear colleagues,

Dear friends, on 7 December 2024, an extraordinary Congress of the Bulgarian Union of Medical Assistants and Paramedics – BSLAF took place in Sofia.
I am extremely proud that, with this event, we medical assistants/feldshers have proven that, despite our not-so-joyful fate as oppressed, restricted and segregated medics, called health caregivers, we have proven that we are worthy and alert people and professionals.
The interest in the event was very high and positive. The existence of BSLAF, and the future of the profession of medical assistant, emerged as a common, supreme care and common creation of all attending delegates and heads of BSLAF.
All issues and proposals envisaged by the programme, as well as those outside the preliminary programme, were debated. A democratic way was reached consensus and fair solution of fundamental issues concerning the functioning of our professional organization.
I would like to thank all the delegates who attended the Congress for their proposals and for their adequate reactions. I want to assure them that with their worthy work and irrevocable decisions, they have contributed immensely to the image of our profession, place and not only in healthcare, but also in society.
Dear Bulgarian medical assistants/feldshers, I assure you that this structured BSLAF – its management board and the management boards of its regional colleagues and control bodies – will be behind each of our member-medical assistants/feldshers, protecting their interests and dignity and increasing their qualifications !
Our ambition is to make our profession the most desirable and prestigious one, not only among young people, but also among employers and the public.
The guarantor of this is the BLAF!

With respect to all of you,

Alexander V. Alexandrov
Chairman of the Board of BUPAF
