The Health Insurance Institute of Tuzla Canton has implemented a digitalized information system to manage medical capacities and reduce diagnostic waiting lists. This electronic process, which covers referrals, scheduling, and result access, has reduced waiting times for MRI and CT scans to an average of 7 to 20 days, and ophthalmological examinations to between 12 and 21 days.

Following these efficiency improvements, the Tuzla Canton Government adopted a 2027 financial plan for the Health Insurance Institute, allocating 440.4 million KM. This represents a 5.8 million KM increase over the 2026 plan. The budget includes 10.2 million KM specifically for hospital and outpatient diagnostics, such as mammography, PAPA tests, CT, and MRI.
