Bulgaria's Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov has said that Bulgaria's main priorities are the prevention, early diagnosis of cancer and the introduction of screening programmes.

Addressing a public forum at which the National Cancer Plan was discussed, Denkov said the plan "has already been adopted, we should proceed with its implementation."

There are measures already put in place for prevention and early detection of some of those, as they have been introduced in the package of preventive activities covered by the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), says the Bulgarian official news ageny as it quotes the PM's statement.

Speaking at the form, the country's Health Minister Hristo Hinkov said cancer diseases account for 16% of all diseases in Bulgaria and rank second after cardiovascular diseases, Minister Hinkov also emphasized.
