RILSKI SYMPOSIUM

October 15 –16, 2003

Stara Zagora – Stara Zagora’s Mineral Baths

 

On the 15 and 16 of October, 2003 a Rilski Simposium has been performed. The topic of the Simposium was “Prevention of social-significant diseases”. The opening ceremony was in the Drama-Theatre in Stara Zagora. The opening words were of Assoc. Prof. Svetlin Tanchev, Rector of Trakia University, Stara Zagora. The interesting program has been applauded from the guests. 
The scientific program has been performed in the holiday home of Mines “Maritca-Iztok“ on Stara Zagoras’ Mineral Baths. Over 120 participants from all over the country took place in the Simposium. The main point of the meeting was the early detection and rehabilitation of children with hearing impairments. Guest-lectorers of the Simposium on that topic were Mrs Gabriel Tonola from Milano, Italy and Assoc. Prof. Jan Gronemajer from Bohum, Germany. They talked about the last conceptions about the initiating of neonatal hearing screening and about their experience in Italy and Germany in that field. 
Some Bulgarian lectorers took place in the Simposium too – Prof. Todor Karchev, Prof. Kuncho Kunev and Prof. Dicho Dimov from the University Hospital “Carica Joanna”, Sofia. In the discussions about the initiation of the neonatal hearing screening in Bulgaria took place and some leading Neonatologists: Assoc. Prof. Neli Zekova, Sofia and Assoc. Prof. Maja Krasteva, Sofia. They declared the possitive attitude of the Neonatologists to that problem. Dr. Petar Rouev, who was one of the organizators of the meeting, made a suggestion for establishing of National Central Register for children with hearing impairments. A special card for registration is created for that reason.
That Simposium put the question for the iniciating of a neonatal hearing screening – a problem, which would be discussed in the future (Belinov Simposium, 7-8 November, 2003, NDK, Hall № 9, Sofia)
