The war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, caused by the aggression of neighbouring countries, besides biological destruction and poverty halted every scientific and technological development in all areas, and in medicine, too. This paper presents vital events in population, forced migrations and violent deaths also. A comparative review and state level of medical technology for particular specialist disciplines in B&H is shown for 1995 and 1990. The criteria for the assessment of lagging in technology and health development is the number and structure of specialized staff, state of premises and medical equipment, bioinformatics, etc, with personal estimation of selected number of leading experts in various medical disciplines (Delfy method) about working conditions. The paper presents the assessment of technological lagging in health sector in B&H (average rate of 40.4%) due to the war, related to 1990.
