SPECIFICITIES OF HEALTH CARE ON CROATIAN ISLANDS

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with specificities of health care on Croatian islands. Historical examples of the high level of island health care and health culture date back to the beginning of this millenium and recent examples of selforganization of health care are given. Today's health care standard on islands appears above Croatian average while studies that compared islands and the continent confirmed a common belief that island ambience, climate and life styles are good for health. Possible directions of further development of island health care with an emphasis on island tourism and corresponding health care problems are given in the end.
