The Croatian healthcare system includes various types of hospitals—clinical hospital centres, clinical hospitals, general hospitals, and other types of specialized institutions—each providing different levels of medical care.
A clinical hospital centre is the largest and most comprehensive type of hospital in the Republic of Croatia, offering a full range of diagnostic, examination and therapeutic procedures. There are five clinical hospital centres in Croatia - two in Zagreb, and one each in Rijeka, Split and Osijek.
A clinical hospital is smaller than a clinical hospital centre, but larger and better equipped than a general hospital. Croatia has three clinical hospitals, all located in Zagreb.
A general hospital provides general healthcare services. It is smaller and less well equipped than a clinical hospital centre or clinical hospital but is larger and offers more medical services than specialized clinics or special hospitals.
Beyond these, clinics and special hospitals focus on treating specific diseases or medical conditions.
