Abstrakt: Although Bosnia and Herzegovina has had a rich history in medicines and traditional medicines, it historically had poor activity regarding the field of medicinal chemistry in the country. However, this has changed recently as Bosnia and Herzegovina has shown immense potential in this field. A significant milestone occurred in 2019, with the establishment of the Organization Pharmaceutical Research Institute. This non-governmental organization aims to improve medicinal chemistry in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Through research, partnerships, and educational initiatives, the organization has made substantial strides in promoting pharmaceutical research, education, and innovation. Moreover, the country's membership in the European Federation for Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology (EFMC) has further facilitated collaboration with European experts, access to cutting-edge knowledge and technologies, and harmonization with European standards. Looking to the future, this organization endeavors to improve healthcare, encourage innovation in medicinal chemistry, and promote the development of new therapies. With the efforts to establish an Association of Chemists in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the nation's scientific community is poised to flourish, contributing to the advancement of medicinal chemistry and healthcare in the region.
