Bulgarian Health Minister Katya Ivkova activities

Overview

Bulgarian Health Minister Katya Ivkova has engaged in efforts to modernize pediatric healthcare by seeking technical expertise and international support from UNICEF. The goal of this cooperation is to assist in the construction of the National Children's Hospital and establish a new model of pediatric care, including specialized centers for child psychiatry and community nursing.

Following these initiatives, Ivkova has faced allegations of lobbying and conflicts of interest. While the Ministry has moved to report illegal cosmetic injection platforms to organized crime authorities, critics have questioned a “Health Without Risk” campaign. Allegations suggest the campaign may serve as a platform for hidden advertising to benefit private cosmetic businesses, specifically citing connections between Ministry activities and the Implantik clinic.
