17th Days of BHAAAS: Sarajevo Becomes a Center of Medical and Professional Knowledge Exchange Aimed at Strengthening Domestic Healthcare Practice

As part of the 17th Days of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian American Academy of Arts and Sciences (BHAAAS), which will be held from June 4 to 7, 2026 in Sarajevo, a special place is reserved for the medical program, featuring a total of 16 international medical symposia, workshops, and four special events. These will take place at several locations across Sarajevo, including the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo, the “Prim. Dr. Abdulah Nakaš” General Hospital, ASA Institute, and the Holiday, Courtyard by Marriott, and Mövenpick hotels.

Cooperation between BHAAAS and KCUS brings new knowledge and international standards to the Intensive Care Department of the Clinical Center

Improving the healthcare system involves investments in equipment, but also investments in people, knowledge, and the international exchange of experience. It is precisely on this idea that the cooperation between the Bosnian-Herzegovinian American Academy of Arts and Sciences (BHAAAS) and the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo (KCUS) is based — a cooperation that, over the past year, has taken concrete shape through joint activities aimed at strengthening the capacities of intensive care medicine at KCUS.
