EAHP welcomes Bosnia Herzegovina and Bulgaria
Bosnia Herzegovina and Bulgaria are the newest additions to EAHP, the 30th and 31st members of the association.
Bosnia Herzegovina was represented by Sanja Stjepanovic and Enisa Salihefendic who gave the GA a brief overview of hospital pharmacy there. Bosnia Herzegovina has 24 hospitals, 10,000 beds, 17 hospital pharmacies, an average of 400 citizens per hospital bed and a population of about 4 million inhabitants. Founded in April 2009, the hospital pharmacy section of the Bosnian Herzegovina Pharmaceutical Association must be the youngest group within EAHP.
Mr Ilko Getov and Ms Nikolina Parvanova Hristova introduced the Bulgarian Association of Hospital Pharmacists, which was created in May 2006 in Sofia. The association has 96 members and serves them in a variety of ways: post-graduate courses, scientific events and forums and the dissemination of the latest developments in pharmacy, to name just a few.
There are 324 hospitals and similar health facilities in Bulgaria for a population of about 7.2 million inhabitants. The EAHP is looking forward to fruitful cooperation with Bosnia Herzegovina and Bulgaria.
