Bosnia and Herzegovina

SHORT INFORMATION

Medicine in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Healthcare in Bosnia and Herzegovina is grossly under-funded. Limitations in the health system flourish because of lack of skills, motivation, suitable information technology and links between operational centres like the health insurance institutions, the public health institutions and health care facilities.

SHORT INFORMATION

Climate of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Although situated close to the Mediterranean Sea, Bosnia and Herzegovina is largely cut off from its climatic influence by the Dinaric Alps.

The weather in the Bosnia region resembles that of the southern Austrian highlands—generally mild, though apt to be bitterly cold in winter.
