Why this one matters most
This is the hospital for serious problems in Pleven: the regional state hospital, the university teaching hospital, and the one with the main emergency department (Speshno otdelenie). If you call 112, this is usually where you end up.
Save the address in your phone now, before you need it: ul. “Georgi Kochev” 8A.
Good to know
- Emergency department: open 24 hours, every day.
- Reception phone: 064 886 100
- Coming by car? There’s parking nearby.
- As a teaching hospital, many doctors are university staff — a good chance of finding someone who speaks English, especially among younger doctors.
- Not an emergency? Don’t go to A&E. Use a DKC (diagnostic and consultation centre) instead — see the note on the Emergency page.
What to bring
Passport or residence card, your health insurance document, and your phone. If you can, bring a friend who speaks some Bulgarian — it makes everything faster.
