The educational structure of health care staff is shown, as well as the number of inhabitants per single health care worker. Significant indicators are the population number per single physician and the number of physicians per 1,000 inhabitants. Furthermore, the number of health care workers with bachelor degree was compared with the number of health care workers with high school degree in the Republic of Croatia and the Bjelovar-Bilogora County.

In the second part of the paper, data on primary health protection at the level of general medicine in the Bjelovar-Bilogora County and in the Republic of Croatia are shown. A couple of data are used to present the operation of the specialist and polyclinic facilities. In the third part, data on the operation of stationary health care institutions in the Bjelovar-Bilogora County are compared with those for the whole area of the Republic of Croatia. Data on the number of beds and the number of doctors, the number of days of treatment and the usage of beds are shown. The objective of this paper is to present the health care structure in the Bjelovar-Bilogora County in comparison with the one in the Republic of Croatia.
