On June 1, the International Children's Day, a new social centre started functioning in Vratsa. The centre is equipped for work with disabled children.

A number of Bulgarian medical institutions offered free child examination and consultations on June 1. Among the hospitals that joined the initiative were the National Cardiological Hospital, pediatrics clinics, child psychology hospitals and the Child Allergology Cabinet of the Aleksandrovska University Hospital.

Deputy Labour and Social Policies Minister Ivanka Hristova opened a day-care centre for children with disabilities in Velingrad.
