MSF activities in the former Yugoslavia began in 1991, with an evacuation of wounded from Vukovar, then under siege.
Initial programs responded to emergency needs of people confronted by war; the peace agreement in 1995 brought a shift in Bosnia itself to medium-term projects focusing on mental health, family medicine, and rehabilitation of medical facilities. With long-term reconstruction now under way, and many other development-oriented organizations in place, MSF decided to end its work in the country.
