Local health insurance
Bosnia and Herzegovina has a statutory health insurance system, but it is organized differently depending on the canton or entity (Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina or Republika Srpska). Public clinics are often overcrowded, and modern equipment can be lacking. Moreover, foreigners who are not permanently employed may find it difficult to join the local social insurance.
International health insurance
An international health insurance plan offers enhanced protection by covering treatment in private clinics, which may have better resources and shorter wait times. It also typically includes repatriation to your home country or to neighboring countries for specialized treatments, something not generally provided locally.
