Following its independence in 1991, Croatia was involved with a series of wars that devastated the country. Today it has mostly recovered, with an improved economy and standard of living. Tourism is a major portion of Croatia’s service sector, responsible for 20% of the country’s GDP. With its sandy beaches and numerous resorts, Croatia’s Adriatic coast attracts countless tourists every year. As of 2013, Croatia has officially joined the European Union and is becoming a key destination for expats.
Healthcare in Croatia is on par with most developed countries. The country has universal health care, which covers citizens, but may not cover visitors or residents. If you are not covered by this plan, you will need to seek insurance from another source. Medical evacuation cover is encouraged.
Expatriates and visitors to Croatia should make sure that they obtain adequate health insurance coverage for their short or long term stay in the country.
