Doi: https://doi.org/10.58603/KDAX1153

Rezumat: In addition to the introduction (first part) and concluding remarks (last part), the article consists of three parts. In the second part, the authors elaborate on the complex political system that governs healthcare. The strengths and weaknesses of the Bosnian and Herzegovinian healthcare system are analyzed, with a focus on brain drain in medicine, in the next part of the article. In the fourth part, the authors illustrate the human capital crisis in the context of brain drain with a specific focus on how brain drain can be converted into the transfer of knowledge and technology. For this purpose, as an example of good practice, the authors used a case study analysis of the BHÄG E.V. Association. In the concluding remarks, the authors reflect on the research's limitations and emphasize how the process can be improved with the recommendations.
