SloveniaThe article discusses long waiting times in the Croatian healthcare system, highlighting a patient's experience where her scheduled dermatology appointment was mistakenly set for 2027 instead of 2023. This error caused significant frustration and raised concerns about the reliability of scheduling systems. Another example shared online involved an elderly woman who died before receiving a cardiac ultrasound appointment she had booked months earlier, which was later used by her daughter. The article notes that in Split’s clinical center, the earliest available appointment for a cardiologist is not until May 2027, while follow-up appointments are scheduled for late July 2027. These delays have led to questions about the sustainability of the current system and the increasing reliance on private healthcare providers.
Bias read (Center): The article presents multiple examples of long wait times in the Croatian healthcare system but does not take a clear stance on the issue. It reports on patient experiences and quotes a local newspaper without overtly favoring any particular perspective or using biased language.
