Sofia, July 14 (BTA) - Prof. Ivan Poromanski, head of the Septic
 Surgery Clinic at Sofia's Pirogov University Multiprofile
Hospital for Active Treatment and Emergency Medicine, has been
appointed director of the hospital, the Health Ministry said on
Wednesday.

Prof. Poromanski is replacing Prof. Asen Baltov.

Prof. Poromanski graduated from the Medical University of Sofia
in 1985. From 1988 to 2004 he held various positions in Pirogov
Hospital's Septic Surgery Clinic until he became its director in
 2005.
   
The change in the hospital's leadership comes after the National
 Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) said on July 12 that the Pirogov
Emergency Hospital would have to pay back to the NHIF over 1
million leva. An inspection carried out between May 28 and July
10 found irregularities in the implementation of the contract
