A new investigation reveals significant gaps in the oversight of private healthcare clinics in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Reporting indicates widespread non-compliance with basic licensing requirements, creating a “wild west” environment within the sector. Clinics are reportedly operating without necessary permits, potentially endangering patient safety and quality of care. The lack of enforcement allows unqualified individuals to practice medicine and compromises established health standards. This regulatory void raises concerns about accountability and transparency in the country's private medical landscape. BIRN’s findings highlight the urgent need for stricter controls and improved enforcement mechanisms to protect citizens relying on private healthcare services.
