Risk / Health Info for Bosnia and Herzegovina

There are some recommended injections for Bosnia and Canadian Travel Clinics can help you arrange these. Make sure to have your regular vaccinations updated before visiting Bosnia and Herzegovina. Medical and dental facilities may be limited and inconsistent with Western standards, especially outside of the major centres. Global Affairs Canada advises a high degree of caution if you go to the Bosnia and Herzegovinan countryside because of landmines. Be sure to have up-to-date vaccines before travelling, especially for measles, as there have been reported cases in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is highly recommended that you purchase travel health insurance before you leave Canada because provincial or territorial health plans may not cover medical costs while outside of the country. Contact your provincial or territorial health authority for more information.
