Last update: 15 minutes agoCAR-T Rollout Watch: Bulgaria is preparing to introduce CAR-T cell therapy, but patient groups warn access may stay very limited unless a sustainable funding model is set up; for now, only a handful of patients get treatment abroad each year.

Health Policy & Fraud: The US DOJ’s 2026 National Health Care Fraud takedown flags a shift toward faster investigations using data analytics and AI, with hundreds of providers suspended or billing privileges revoked. Governance & Oversight: Bulgaria’s Audit Office refers four conflict-of-interest cases for further checks, including a hospital executive director, to anti-corruption and asset forfeiture bodies.
