The National Health Information System’s (NHIS) website continues to expand with publicly available information on the health status of Bulgarian citizens. By opening the “Statistical Reports” section, at https://his.bg/en/statistical-reports/ncds/2026, detailed information on the prevalence of socially significant non-communicable diseases in the country is now available. Data reports provide summarized and structured insights into the distribution and diagnosis of key chronic diseases in Bulgaria. This enables health authorities to conduct in-depth analysis, efficiently manage processes within the healthcare system, and make informed decisions regarding prevention and early detection of diseases, and the improvement of public health.
The new reports published by Information Services on the NHIS website cover the period from 2024 to 2026 and include data on socially significant non-communicable diseases such as type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, asthma, and other chronic lower respiratory conditions.
“Publishing national-level health data on socially significant non-communicable diseases is an important step toward increasing public access and transparency in the healthcare sector,” said Milla Filipova, Product Manager at Information Services. According to her, the systematic and open access to NHIS data creates conditions for process traceability and better visibility of the overall health landscape in Bulgaria.
Reports are based on data submitted by medical professionals to NHIS, which has been operational since 2020, and reflect the medical information actually recorded into the system. For each disease, indicators have been developed for the total number of living individuals diagnosed with the condition, newly diagnosed cases within the respective year, as well as distribution by regions and age groups. For the statistical data on myocardial infarction, additional analysis is included, such as monthly case distribution and breakdown by gender. Each report contains methodological notes describing its data source, the scope of diagnoses used, and how the indicator is calculated. This ensures better clarity and accurate interpretation of the information by all end users.
