Patients from Vienna are increasingly preferring treatments in the newly opened ASA Hospital in the Bosnian capital.

According to Meinverkirk, the medical facility quickly developed into a popular contact point for people from Austria and Germany.

highly qualified medical services, combined with attractive prices, make the ASA Hospital particularly attractive. The MedUni Vienna is directly involved in ensuring the quality of care and works with the consulting firm Muvi, which positions both the international medical director and the management of the nursing staff. The focus is on training, medical innovations and research. This also creates real -time advice between Viennese doctor: inside and their Bosnian colleagues, which further increases the quality of treatment.

growth and opportunities in healthcare

The reasons why more and more people are opting for treatments in Sarajevo are diverse. In short: short waiting times, cheap flight prices and the opportunity to get high -quality medical services at a fraction of the costs. Flights from Vienna to Sarajevo are available from 149 euros, which makes access to these offers easier. The ASA Hospital focuses on minimally invasive interventions, assisted fertilizations and internal studies in order to offer the patient a comprehensive care.

The ASA Group also aims to increase the quality of life in Bosnia and Herzegovina and plans to build another hospital that could be considered the first private general hospital in the region. Cooperation with the MedUni Vienna is used to improve health care by default. At the same time, around 400 new jobs are to be created in order to counteract the emigration of medical talents. The hospital also plans the development of centers for excellence in areas such as the care of mother and child, minimally invasive procedures and interventional radiology.

The health system in Bosnia and Herzegovina

The health sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina has been restructured in recent years by reforms that have focused on primary health care. According to EuroHealthbServatory, the care is carried out by local health centers, while specialists are active in the secondary care. Through these measures, the number of family medicine specialists increased and the system was stabilized as a whole. Nevertheless, there are still high expenses from our own pocket, especially for low -income households, which makes access to necessary medical services difficult.

The partnership between Vienna and Sarajevo in healthcare is a prime example of intercultural cooperation that not only benefits the patient, but also strengthens the region's medical infrastructure. With all progress, however, it should be noted that the challenges of the country's health system continue to exist when it comes to financing and quality. It remains exciting how this dynamic will develop in the future.
