Croatia plans to open record-breaking 62 tourist health clinics this season, located in 11 counties, offering medical check-ups, prescriptions, and referrals for necessary healthcare services to both domestic and international tourists. This represents an increase of 22 locations compared to last year, with additional teams operating on 50 sites during July. The Ministry of Health, in collaboration with the Croatian Institute of Healthcare (HZZO) and local authorities, has organized these clinics for the third consecutive year to ensure timely and quality healthcare for increased numbers of visitors. These clinics help alleviate pressure on family doctors, emergency care, and combined emergency reception units, especially in coastal and highly visited areas. The initiative includes access to the Central Croatian Health Information System (CEZIH), enabling doctors to issue prescriptions and referrals. Over €620,000 has been invested in equipment and space improvements over the past three years.
