To my very pleasant surprise, today Prof. Krasimir Ivanov and Prof. Valentin Ignatov have shown to me the building, which was then at the very beginning of its construction, and now it houses modern oncology. I congratulate you on the good work, and I am absolutely positive that everything you do is for the benefit of not only the citizens of the District of Varna but also of the citizens of the entire Northeastern Bulgaria", added Minister Petrov.

Prior to the establishment of the Clinic in 2012, firstly a sector in this field was founded in 2003, and a department - four years later. Then investments in the human potential and equipment followed. The priorities are related to operative treatment of the most serious pathological vascular diseases. Currently there is one Professor, one Associate Professor and six specialists working at the Clinic. At present all new and advanced technologies in vascular surgery have been introduced.
