Rifat Atun, Yiannis Kyratsis, G. Jelic, D. Rados-Malicbegovic, Ipek Gurol‐Urganci · 2006 · Health Policy and Planning

Summary. Bosnia and Herzegovina successfully scaled family-medicine-centered primary health care reforms to cover over 25% of the country despite post-war devastation and resource constraints. The reforms succeeded because they aligned with stakeholder expectations, created perceived benefits for physicians, nurses, and policymakers, and involved multifaceted interventions across the health system. The post-conflict context enabled transformational change, and consensus-building among diverse adopters reduced resistance to implementation.
