The impact of the war has been especially severe in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1991 population: 4.3 million). To assist in targeting humanitarian aid to the region, in August 1993, the U.S. Agency for International Development's Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance asked CDC to assess the public health status and needs of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This report summarizes the results of that assessment and focuses on three central Bosnian regions. LA - en SN - 0149-2195 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
