Recent data from the National Statistical Institute reveals a significant demographic shift within Bulgaria's healthcare sector. As of late 2025, more than half of the country's physicians are aged 55 or older, totaling 16,607 out of 30,409. A similar trend is evident among nursing staff, with nearly half of the nurses also exceeding the 55-year age threshold. These statistics highlight a critical shortage of young medical professionals entering the workforce. The aging workforce poses a potential risk to the long-term sustainability of the national health system. Such trends may lead to staffing shortages as a large cohort approaches retirement. The findings underscore the urgent need for systemic reforms to attract new medical talent.
