Croatia and Bosnia to cooperate in organ transplantation

Author: Roberta Mlinarić

ZAGREB, Dec 20 (Hina) - The health ministers of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina's Federation entity, Milan Kujundzic and Vjekoslav Mandic respectively, on Wednesday signed a protocol on cooperation in organ transplantation regulating the reciprocal exchange of organs and education in organ transplantation, to be provided by top Croatian medical professionals to their colleagues in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The two ministers also signed an agreement between the Croatian Health Ministry and the Mostar University Hospital whereby Croatia will donate HRK 40 million to that hospital to settle its debts for medicines and medical material.

Mandic said that the protocol on organ transplantation would make it possible for citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina to indirectly access Eurotransplant and get the opportunity to undergo organ transplants.

"We will give back the same number of organs we receive so the protocol is to the mutual benefit," said Mandic.

Commenting on the financial assistance to the Mostar University Hospital, Kujundzic said that Croatia had a moral and constitutional obligation to help Croats living outside Croatia and that the donation was aimed at alleviating the difficult financial situation of Bosnia and Herzegovina's health system.
