05. Bosnia and Herzegovina 

Value: 38.3

The problem of lung cancer in Bosnia and Herzegovina is exacerbated by the complicated and ill-equipped healthcare system. A poor distribution of radiologists makes cancer screenings quite tricky, which means many people either get diagnosed quite late or don’t receive a diagnosis at all. Citizens, for the most part, have to pay out of their own pockets for medical procedures, which can be pretty costly for diseases like cancer. Not to mention that many of these procedures are not even sufficiently adequate in a country like Bosnia and Herzegovina.
