Health Minister Nikola Todorov was very disappointed, but didn’t feel responsible for young Tamara’s death because, as he said, he did everything for her to travel abroad for the operation, reports “Nova TV“.
Minister Todorov stated this today at the opening of the project “Dispersed speech therapist”, for which media were invited six minutes before the beginning of the event.
After a day of silence, Todorov appeared in public at an opening of speech therapy center in polyclinic “Bucharest”. He didn’t even mention anything about responsibility or resignation. The blame is now transferred to the team of doctors from Turkey, who were to meet and make an appointment for surgery, without explaining what was awaited for three years.
– I feel disappointed, but I have to explain that I’m not the one who postponed. When I heard about this case, which really touched me, I called the Director of the Fund and she made efforts, so means were found. One of the top surgeons for spinal surgery from Turkey was called, who said that the operation cannot be performed in Macedonia and proposed to form a team of experts from different hospitals in Turkey. The term was to be set these days, 8th or 9th of January, but, unfortunately, she didn’t make it. I think that I did everything in my power, even more than that, but, obviously, it was not enough. I am sorry for this unfortunate event and sincerely sympathize with the family – stated Minister Todorov, reports “Nova TV”.
