Healthy Communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina
By strengthening the health system's focus on disease prevention and promotion of healthy lifestyles, with the cooperation of all key participants in local communities, we will contribute to reducing the burden of diseases and improving the health of women and men, children, the elderly and young people
The overall goal of the Healthy Communities in BiH project is to contribute to a reduced burden of disease and improved health status for women and men in BiH, by strengthening the focus of the health system on disease prevention and the promotion of healthy lifestyles.
