- What constitutes medical malpractice and how can compensation be claimed in Bulgaria?
- Medical malpractice arises when a healthcare provider deviates from the applicable medical standard during diagnosis, treatment or surgery, causing harm to the patient. The injured party may bring a civil compensation claim against the healthcare facility under the Obligations and Contracts Act. It is advisable to secure the full medical file and obtain an independent medical expert opinion before proceedings.
- What licences are required to open a private medical practice in Bulgaria?
- A private medical practice requires registration with the Regional Health Inspectorate (RHI) and enrolment in the register of the relevant professional organisation (Bulgarian Medical Association, Bulgarian Dental Association, etc.). Outpatient and hospital facilities additionally require authorisation under the Medical Establishments Act, which involves an RHI inspection to verify compliance with staffing and equipment standards.
