Rehabilitation of war victims in the Federation of Bosnia and Hercegovina with special reference to physical injuries.

The number of war victims in need of physical rehabilitation in Bosnia and Hercegovina is not exactly known but less than one per cent of the population. Anyhow physical rehabilitation services needs to be reorganized in the community taking care of about 70-80% of the patients. The rest are partly in need of institutional care, which is also important for training and research purposes. The reorganization of services for the mentally ill is aimed at both war victims and others and reorganized at Community Mental Health Centers. The number of mentally ill war victims is definitely exceeding the number of physically injured from the war. Language: en
