Official Statement of University Hospital \u201cKaneff\u201d AD<\/strong>
Regarding the information released today about a pre-trial proceeding for mismanagement initiated against seven state hospitals, including University Hospital “Kaneff” AD, and the claim that the institution is “on the verge of bankruptcy”<\/em><\/p>\r\n

In December 2017, the Executive Agency \u201cMedical Audit\u201d under the Ministry of Health conducted an extraordinary inspection at University Hospital \u201cKaneff\u201d AD, Ruse.<\/p>\r\n

As of now, no other hospital facility operates within the premises of University Hospital \u201cKaneff\u201d AD providing identical medical services as the state hospital. According to the inspection by the Medical Audit Agency, the contracts signed by the Executive Director of the hospital are within the scope of his authorized powers.<\/p>\r\n

At the time of the inspection, no duplication of activities was found between the hospital and SBALC \u201cMedica Cor\u201d EAD in the field of interventional cardiology, thus complying with the requirements of Art. 9, para. 6 of the Medical Institutions Act. The inspection also confirmed that there is no duplication of services with SBALFRM \u201cMedica\u201d OOD in the area of physical medicine and rehabilitation, again in full compliance with the law.<\/p>\r\n

Since the beginning of the current management\u2019s term in March 2015, steps have been taken to terminate existing contractual relations with private healthcare providers operating within the premises of the state hospital. All competent authorities have been duly notified, and assistance has been requested to support the contract terminations and vacating of the premises.<\/p>\r\n

These efforts include two legal cases. The first was initiated in 2015, resulting in a ruling by the Ruse District Court ordering SBALFRM \u201cMedica\u201d OOD to return the property it occupied\u2014namely, the seventh floor of the hospital\u2019s Surgical Block\u2014to MBAL-Ruse AD (as it was then known).<\/p>\r\n

The second case, also initiated in 2015, concerned the ground floor of University Hospital \u201cKaneff,\u201d where the hospice of SBALFRM \u201cMedica\u201d OOD was located. This case also concluded in favor of Kaneff Hospital, and the private entity vacated the premises on October 17, 2016. The space is now designated to house the renovated Department of Transfusion Hematology.<\/p>\r\n

As of July 1, 2017, SBALC \u201cMedica Cor\u201d no longer operates on the premises of the state hospital.<\/p>\r\n

It should be noted that the Board of Directors of University Hospital \u201cKaneff\u201d had decided to terminate the contract with SBALC \u201cMedica Cor\u201d early, with a three-month written notice. However, due to public pressure in Ruse, an agreement was signed on January 20, 2017, whereby the private cardiology clinic committed to vacating the premises by July 1, 2017.<\/p>\r\n

Regarding the claim that University Hospital \u201cKaneff\u201d AD is \u201con the verge of bankruptcy,\u201d we state the following:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

According to the Commercial Act, this would imply conditions related to insolvency, over-indebtedness, or both\u2014criteria for initiating insolvency proceedings. We can confidently state that, if this is the intended implication, the company is in sound financial and economic condition.<\/p>\r\n

This is clearly demonstrated in the latest financial and economic report for 2017:<\/p>\r\n
