Five women from three different regions in the country have started intensive preparation for admission into the nursing and midwifery specialties.
The initiative is part of the Home-Visitors Scholarship Program, and supports women who wish to train and develop a career in health care.
How will we support them?
Through specially organised candidate courses, participants will gain the knowledge and skills they need to successfully apply and gain admission to medical universities.
Why is it important?
There is a serious shortage of nurses and midwives in Bulgaria, and this initiative is a step towards providing more qualified staff in the healthcare system. By supporting these women, we encourage both their professional development and their communities' access to better quality health care.
The approved candidates from the competition held at the end of 2024 are:
1. Stephanie Stefanova Yankova
2. Ina Bojanova Yordanova
3. Anelia Yuliyeva Tsankova
4. Fise Zulkarne Hussein
5. Fabiana Sandova Mitova
