Summary/Abstract: Dialysis treatment is often the only hope for patients with renal insufficiency, which is why it is extremely important that the system of providing this type of health care service is organized in an adequate manner. In the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, dialysis services are performed exclusively within public health institutions, which are faced with a number of problems, some of which are caused by the healthcare system itself, and the other are the effect of the lack of financial resources. In addition, there are significant differences in the scope and manner of achieving certain rights of dialysis patients in the area of social protection, depending on which canton they live in. Possible solutions to some of these problems are the introduction of new models of providing dialysis services and the development of transplantation medicine. However, without the constitutional reform in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, it will be almost impossible to introduce a model of providing dialysis based on the principles of public-private partnership, and for the further development of transplantation medicine it is necessary for BiH to become a member of Eurotransplant, and one of the conditions for that is the state-level legislative framework.
