Changes are introduced in the assessment of TELK and the type of disability in percentages, which will lead to a fairer assessment, as well as clarification of the cases in which a lifetime term of disability with and or foreign assistance should be definitively determined.

This was stated by the Minister of Health Asen Medzhidiev

Dr. Asen Medjidiev was born in 1968. He graduated from the Higher Medical Institute in a press briefing.

"The methodology for applying the assessment of permanently reduced working capacity, the type and degree of permanent disability in percentages is being changed.

The essential thing is that every impairment will be counted, not just the leading one, regardless of its corresponding percentages, as well as the percentage of the most severe impairment.

These percentages will now be collected," he explained.

"Persons certified or re-certified before the entry of this decision will have the right to submit their application for re-certification, and there is also no deadline for this, as great interest is expected from the people," Medjidiev added.

According to him, all this will speed up the issuing of expert decisions.

"There will also be a change in the TELC commissions, more experts in the country will be given the opportunity to do the expertise and exact deadlines for expertise will be set, and not as before - to wait for many months", he is categorical.

On the occasion of the spread of the flu, the minister announced: "It is planned to expand the immunization coverage for 2023 to 25%, and it is expected that the coverage in 2026 will become 35%."

The Ministry of Health recommends frequent ventilation, the use of masks in public places, as well as contacting personal doctors for longer-lasting symptoms.
