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.

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.
Health care contributions in Croatia are mandatory for all employed citizens, i.e. their employers. The dependents obtain their health care coverage through contributions paid by working members of their families. Self-employed workers in Croatia are also obliged to pay health care contributions. Croatian citizens who belong to a particularly vulnerable category are exempt from paying health care contributions; retired people and persons with low income are insured and have access to health care facilities - contractual partners - of the Croatian Health Insurance Fund (CHIF).

The vision of the healthcare system is to become a health system where quality healthcare is available to everyone, according to the principles of comprehensiveness, accessibility and solidarity.
The mission of the Croatian health insurance is to rationally invest the funds of insured persons in quality and efficient health services and programs that will add years to life and life to years.
