Component B - Expansion of community nursing 

During the first and second phases, the project supported the development of community nursing services in 22 municipalities in Bosnia and Herzegovina in collaboration with key partners. In contrast to the previous two phases, in which the project assisted with field implementation, in the third phase the project will (i) coordinate the activities of expanding the model to additional municipalities by involving all available human resources previously trained in CN (trained coordinators, trainers and mentors), (ii) provide follow-up to 22 municipalities from previous project phases in order to ensure sustainability of improved CN services and (iii) support further municipalities willing to develop community nursing services for their population on their own.
