Sarajevo public healthcare service expansions

Overview

Healthcare facilities in Sarajevo are expanding specialized services within the public sector. The Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo (KCUS) opened a gynecology day hospital to provide diagnostic and minor surgical procedures through short-term anesthesia, allowing patients to return home the same day. KCUS Director Alen Pilav stated the concept aims to improve the public health system by providing painless procedures within a single day.

Following this, the General Hospital Sarajevo ‘Prim. dr. Abdulah Nakaš’ announced plans to open the city’s first public palliative care department. Initially operating with 20 beds and with plans to expand to 40, the unit is designed to support patients in terminal stages of illness and their families.
