What JU Opća bolnica Prim. Dr. Abdulah Nakaš does

J.U. Opća bolnica "Prim. Dr. Abdulah Nakaš" Sarajevo is a public general hospital (Javna Ustanova) operating under the governance of Canton Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The hospital provides secondary and tertiary healthcare services to the population of Canton Sarajevo and surrounding regions, with multi-specialty departments covering emergency medicine, cardiology, obstetrics/gynecology, pediatrics, surgery, neurology, ophthalmology, maxillofacial surgery, nuclear medicine, pulmonology, and transfusion medicine. It is one of the principal general hospitals serving the Sarajevo metropolitan area, operating a 24/7 Emergency Center (Urgentni centar) at its single facility on S.S. Kranjčevićeva 12.

The hospital's service portfolio includes specialized cabinets for infiltrative cardiomyopathies and pulmonary hypertension (launched April 2024), a maxillofacial surgery cabinet (launched September 2023, led by Prof. Dr. Faris Fočo), and a maternity ward holding the WHO/UNICEF Baby Friendly Hospital designation since 2000 with triennial renewal. The hospital also operates an electronic referral system (E-uputnica) that enables digital referrals from primary healthcare providers. It achieved AKAZ accreditation at 100% of certification standards and 80% of accreditation standards in January 2024, with a 4-year certificate validity.

As a public institution, the hospital does not generate commercial revenue. It is funded through reimbursement from the Canton Sarajevo Health Insurance Institute (Zavod zdravstvenog osiguranja Kantona Sarajevo) for services provided to insured citizens and through direct allocations from the Ministry of Health of Canton Sarajevo. Patient access is via referral from primary healthcare physicians (family medicine doctors) or direct presentation to the Emergency Center. The firmographic listing of 27 employees appears anomalously low for a multi-specialty hospital with this service breadth and is most likely a data capture artifact rather than the actual operational headcount.
