What are healthcare services like in Split?

Answer this Question

We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in Split. They wrote...

"Healthcare services in Split are generally of a high standard, with a number of public and private hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies available. The city is home to the Clinical Hospital Centre Split, one of the largest and most advanced hospitals in the country. The healthcare professionals are well-trained, many of whom speak English and other foreign languages. Public healthcare is funded through a mandatory healthcare insurance, which covers a significant portion of the costs, while private healthcare is also available for those who prefer it or need specialist treatments. Emergency services are efficient and responsive, with ambulances and emergency rooms equipped to handle a wide range of medical situations. Pharmacies in Split are well-stocked and can provide over-the-counter medications as well as prescription drugs. However, it is recommended for visitors to bring a sufficient supply of their prescribed medications as certain drugs may not be available. Despite the high standard of healthcare, there can be long waiting times for non-emergency treatments in the public healthcare system. This has led some residents and visitors to opt for private healthcare, which offers faster service but at a higher cost. Overall, healthcare services in Split, Croatia are reliable and accessible, providing comprehensive care for both residents and visitors," said a member in Split, Croatia.
