How are healthcare services Croatia?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Croatia, they replied:
"Healthcare services in Croatia are provided by both public and private institutions. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and is available to all Croatian citizens and foreign residents. The quality of public healthcare is generally good, with a wide range of services available, including primary care, specialist care, hospital care, and preventive care. Foreign residents have access to the public healthcare system, although they may need to pay a fee for some services. Expats in Croatia can use the public healthcare system, but they may need to pay a fee for some services. Expats can also opt to use private healthcare services, which are generally more expensive but may offer a higher quality of care," mentioned one expat in Croatia.
