I just wonder if anyone can tell me what systems are there in Croatia for Healthcare, i.e. hospitalisation etc., of Croatian Nationals. Is it all private, or is there the equivalent of the NHS, and who qualifies if there is such a scheme.
Or do all Croats have to have private insurance?

David, I assume that you are not a croatian national, in which case you are most likely to have to pay for medical assistance in Croatia. Having siad that, your travel insurance may cover any such costs.
Alternatively I believe that there is a reciprocal agreement between the UK and Croatia, which entitles you to free medical assistance whilst abroad. Also , try checking with the post office, they have some medical travel forms, which may cover you whilst in Croatia.
I hope this helps.

I agree with Cana, there is agreement with CRO-UK goverment and you should not be paying any extra costs regardless if u have travel insurance or not. Having said that, Cro NHS had undertake many many changes in the last 18months. My dad has full private insurance and still had to pay a daily fee for the hospitalisation in CRO NHS hospital so im a bit confused as well. Attendance to A&E as far as Im aware is still free, therefore would be free for u as well.
Im affraid Im not sure where you could get some more accurate informations.
good luck

Medical Care - There is now a reciprocal agreement for medical care for British Citizens, all you have to show the doctor if you need medical attention is your passport, there will as per UK be costs pertaining to prescriptions and certain specialist treatments. Citizens of other countries should check with their embassy or relevant authority. FULL TRAVEL/MEDICAL INSURANCE IS A NECESSARY REQUIREMENT BY OUR COMPANY if our Insurance is not taken,, we ask that you advise us prior to travel of the insurance you hold this information is placed in your file should in the unlikely event that it is required by a relative or friend.
