SUMMARY
This paper provides a review of the organization of mental health care for children and adolescents in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The number of institutions that provide this form of health protection is insufficient. Such institutions exist only in the two largest cities in the country. Government measures and the Plan for responding to most urgent needs are also presented. The accent is put on the need to attain territorial coverage with services, both for health and social protection of children and adolescents.
Key words: child and adolescent psychiatry in Bosnia and Herzegovina
