Healthcare sustainability and management in the Balkans

Overview

Discussions regarding healthcare sustainability and management have emerged in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Slovenia. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, a conference in Mostar was organized to address long-term challenges such as limited financing, rising treatment costs, demographic shifts, and staffing shortages.

In Slovenia, the focus has shifted toward the organizational and financial stability of public health institutions. Debates have occurred regarding the role of concessionaires within the public system. Concurrently, specific facilities are facing significant operational hurdles; the Health Center in Hrastnik is managing financial deficits and staffing shortages under acting leadership, while the hospital in Slovenj Gradec is undergoing restructuring to address a 3.5 million euro deficit and is seeking a new professional director.
