Medical Requirements
The following is required by Bulgarian regulations prior to starting pre-school.
1. Results from lab tests for GE bacteria and intestinal parasites, blood and urine test. This should be done the week before starting school. All medical laboratories have the so called ‘starting nursery/kindergarten package’. You must take the full package for nursery if you child hasn’t turned 3 years, or the full package for kindergarten if your child is older than 3 years.
Please present test results printed and signed by the laboratory, if possible.
Take the following samples when going to the Laboratory (you may want to buy in advance from the pharmacy stool container, urine container and microscopic glass for pinworm sample):
- Stool sample in plastic container
- Urine sample
- Scotch tape test for pinworm infection – more details here
- At the Lab they will take finge blood sample from your child, and if your child is younger that 3 years, they will also take finger blood from one parent for a Wassermann test.
2. Health card from your GP or Pediatrician
• Your child’s doctor will carry out a regular health check and register on this card the current health status of the child.
• Your doctor will list all vaccinations carried out so far. Please note that Bulgarian regulations do not permit a child in nursery/pre-school unless all compulsory vaccinations for Bulgaria are done. If you need advice speak to ICCC director.
The health card is called in Bulgarian ‘zdravno profilaktichna karta’. It is completed electronically by doctors or you may be asked to buy a pre-printed form from the stationery shop prior to your appointment.
3. Statement from your GP that the child has not been in contact with infectious patients. Don’t forget to request this when you visit your GP.
