Bosnia and Herzegovina is gradually pulling itself back from the destruction of the 1992-1996 war. To replace the destroyed mental hospitals the World Bank provided funding for a network of community mental health centres across the country. Educational initiatives have been introduced to provide staff - including, importantly, nurses and social workers - with the necessary training and skills to work in the community setting.
