Summary/Abstract: The shortage of pediatric intensive care units represents a serious challenge for the health system in Bulgaria. This phenomenon affects the health and lives of the youngest patients and also puts considerable pressure on medical staff and parents. Despite efforts to modernise health services, the uneven distribution of intensive care units, lack of specialised staff and outdated infrastructure continue to be major problems. This MSc thesis focuses on the analysis of these challenges, aiming to highlight cardinal causes of shortages and propose practical solutions based on international experience and best practice. By exploring the theoretical underpinnings and conducting statistical analysis, it will seek to answer the question: how to improve access to quality pediatric intensive care in the country. This text presents chapters one, two and three of the master thesis.
