Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo

The Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo (Bosnian: Klinički centar Univerziteta u Sarajevu, KCUS or Bosnian: Univerzitetski klinički centar Sarajevo, UKCS), often known as Koševo Hospital (Bosnian: Bolnica "Koševo"), is the largest public hospital and primary medical center in Bosnia and Herzegovina, located in Sarajevo. Established in 1894 as the State Hospital (Zemaljska bolnica), it serves as the primary teaching base for the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Sarajevo. The center is organized across multiple sites (Koševo, Jezero, Podhrastovi) and comprises 37 clinics. During the Siege of Sarajevo, the hospital was a primary target but remained operational, becoming a center for war surgery. In the post-war era, particularly from 2016 to 2023, it became the subject of significant political and public controversy regarding its management, finances, and role during the COVID-19 pandemic.
