Croatian Health Insurance Fund (CHIF)
Since it gained independence in 1992, Croatia has faced emerging economy and strong tourist activity. With Croatia's EU accession in 2013, key structural reforms are being monitored and performed in fields such as health and pension system, system of state aid, and privatization of state property. EU accession should at the same time result in accelerating fiscal and other structural reforms.
Health care standard in Croatia is mainly satisfactory, with better accessibility to health care facilities in major cities. Range of health services rendered in remote areas and islands is less, but still within acceptable.
Due to commonly rising costs of health care, especially expenditure on drugs, Croatia health care system is accompanied by lack of budget funds for health care, which so far has not affected drug supply within public health care institutions in Croatia.
