Description:

For emergency ambulance service (HITNA POMOĆ) call the telephone number 94.

For medical assistance in general you have to know that there are hospitals and clinics in all the larger cities and first aid clinics and pharmacies in all other places. If you become ill while staying in a hotel then any hotel manager will assist you in finding doctors or the appropriate medical care. For patients whose lives are in danger, there is emergency transport by air (helicopter) or sea (speedboat). Only basic health care facilities are available in outlying areas and islands. Dental services in Croatia are usually offered through private dental practices.
Foreign citizens do not pay for medical services if the Health Care Convention was signed between Croatia and the country they come from. Expenses of health services provided to persons coming from the countries with which the Health Care Convention was not signed are charged directly to users according to the price list (advise: take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance, and check with your insurer to make sure that their policy meets your needs).
Foreign citizens receiving hospital treatment in Croatia are normally charged a fee higher than Croatian citizens. Doctors in private practices generally charge only one fee irrespective of the patients' citizenship.
