Abstract

The emergency care system in Bulgaria is evolving as a hybrid of the former "Soviet-style" health service and western-style emergency medicine. Bulgaria like other "Eastern bloc" Communist nations has undergone a sweeping socioeconomic transformation during the past 10 years. These changes have had profound consequences including the development of emergency services and the recognition of emergency medicine as a specialty in Bulgaria.
