About
The Society of Endocrinologists and Diabetologists in Bosnia and Herzegovina continues the tradition of a professional association of endocrinologists and diabetologists established in 1969 in Sarajevo, under the name of Section for Endocrinologists, Diabetes, and Metabolic Diseases at the Medical Association of Socialistic Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
After the war in 2007, the section was re-registered as the Association of Endocrinologists and Diabetologists of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 2016, its members decided to rename it as the Society of Endocrinologists and Diabetologists in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The society brings together all endocrinologists and diabetologists in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as individuals deal with diabetes and other endocrine system diseases in their daily work.
The Society is a member of the European Society of Endocrinology (ESE) and IDF, thereby contributing to the decision-making process in endocrinology and diabetology.
