The Republic of Croatia is located in Central Europe and is bordered by Slovenia, Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro. In 2013, the population stands at an estimated 4.4 million.

Funding for healthcare in Croatia is principally through the compulsory health insurance system. It was introduced in 1993 and is operated by the Croatian Institute for Health Insurance (HZZO). The HZZO collects contributions from the working population and the government makes payments on behalf of those exempt, such as the elderly, the unemployed and dependants. The system has significantly reduced the number of unofficial payments made in the healthcare sector.

In 2012, the Croatian market for medical equipment and supplies was estimated at US$218.3 million, or US$49 per capita. It is expected that the market will expand at a rate of 3.3% per annum, reaching US$257.3 million, or US$58 per capita by 2017. The government has aimed to bring the performance of the healthcare system into line with that of other EU member states through the National Health Strategy 2006-2011. The new National Healthcare Development Strategy 2012-2020 will expand health-related IT systems in the country and see a restructuring of the hospital sector.

Around 92% of the medical device market is supplied by imports. Croatia has a small domestic production sector, supplying both the domestic market and other countries from the former Yugoslavia. In 2011, medical device imports increased by 11.4% to US$238.0 million.

Croatia will join the EU in July 2013, providing the country’s accession treaty is approved by all 27 EU member states. As of January 2013, the treaty has been ratified by 20 countries. There are concerns that Slovenia will block Croatia’s entry; the two countries are yet to find a solution to a long-term dispute over Croatian savings in a defunct Slovenian bank, which dates back to before the break-up of the former Yugoslavia.
