The Bulgarian medics who returned from Libya on July 24 have been today to the Military-Medical Academy hospital for full medical tests, Bulgarian National Television reported.

Their health condition could be serious, according to doctors there. Dr Zdravko Georgiev, husband of nurse Kristiana Vulcheva, was yesterday admitted to the hospital's emergency care unit with a hypertonic crisis and high blood pressure.


His condition has been stablised.

Head of hospital General Stoyan Tonev told BNT that the medics could suffer any number of medical conditions after spending eight years in difficult conditions. He said that the greatest risk may be psychological.

More on their health conditions will become known when all tests have been completed in the next few days.
