On the eve of 24th May, the award established at Medical University - Varna in the name of Dr. Vasil Hristov for the development of young scientists was presented for the fourth year in a row. This year the awards have been presented to young physicians from University Hospital "St. Marina"- Varna, which at the time of the pandemic are in the forefront in the diagnosis and treatment of patients.
