During his stay in Hvar, the Minister of Health, Associate Professor Dr. Vili Beroš, MD, visited the additional team of the Split-Dalmatia County Health Center, which provides healthcare services in the city of Hvar.

The Minister had the opportunity to speak with the present colleagues and listen to their suggestions for improving the work of tourist clinics in the upcoming tourist season. The goal is for this project to be even more effective in the future, allowing for the provision of quality healthcare to all tourists visiting Hvar.

The additional team in Hvar began work on July 15 and will continue until the end of August. So far, this team has provided medical assistance to more than 136 tourists, most of whom, 60% to be precise, were domestic tourists.

Organization of Tourist Clinics in Croatia
Due to the large number of tourists, especially during the summer months, the Ministry of Health passed a law amending the Health Care Act. This law enables the formation of additional, temporary teams in health centers throughout Croatia, including counties such as Istria, Primorje-Gorski Kotar, Lika-Senj, Zadar, Šibenik-Knin, Split-Dalmatia, Dubrovnik-Neretva, Osijek-Baranja, and Bjelovar-Bilogora. These teams provide healthcare services at a total of 37 locations. By the end of July, 8,000 visits to these teams were recorded, demonstrating how crucial these teams are in ensuring healthcare for tourists.

Helicopter and Maritime Emergency Medical Service
In addition to forming additional teams, the Ministry of Health has also established a helicopter emergency medical service, which has so far conducted 491 flights, with the base in Split handling 238 interventions. The helicopter emergency medical service is vital for ensuring quick medical assistance in situations where time is a critical factor. Additionally, the maritime emergency medical service, which includes fast boats, had 295 interventions, significantly contributing to the safety of tourists along the Croatian coast.

The Importance of Healthcare Services for Croatian Tourism
Tourism is one of the most important economic sectors in Croatia, and providing quality healthcare to tourists has become one of the key priorities. The Ministry of Health, in cooperation with the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, is working intensively to ensure that Croatia is recognized as one of the safest tourist destinations in the world. Minister Beroš particularly emphasized the importance of the dedicated work of all healthcare workers, with a focus on primary healthcare physicians, who bear the greatest burden of providing care to tourists.

Along with Minister Beroš, the visit to the additional team in Hvar was attended by the Mayor of Hvar, Rikardo Novak, the Director of the Tourist Board Ivana Belaj Šantić, the Head of the Department of Radiological Diagnostics Mr.Sc. Dino Carić, MD, and the Head of the Nursing Department Dalia Meštrović, BScN, from the Split-Dalmatia County Health Center.

Political desk

The political desk shapes its content with the belief that responsible writing and a solid understanding of social processes hold essential value in the public sphere. For years, we have been analyzing political events, monitoring changes that affect citizens, and reflecting on the relationships between institutions, individuals, and the international community. Our approach is based on experience gained through long-term work in journalism and direct observation of political scenes in different countries and systems.

In our editorial work, we emphasize context, because we know that politics is never just the news of the day. Behind every move, statement, or decision are circumstances that define its true significance, and our task is to bring readers closer to the background and intentions that are not visible at first glance. In our articles, we strive to build a vivid picture of society – its tensions, ambitions, problems, and those moments when opportunities for change arise.

Over the years, we have learned that political reporting is not reduced to retelling conferences and press releases. It requires patience, observation, and a willingness to compare various sources, assess credibility, recognize patterns of behavior, and find meaning in actions that sometimes seem contradictory. To achieve this, we rely on experience gained through long-term work with public institutions, civil society organizations, analysts, and individuals who shape political reality through their activities.

Our writing stems from personal fieldwork: from conventions, protests, parliamentary sessions, international forums, and conversations with people who experience politics from within. These encounters shape texts in which we strive to be clear, precise, and fair, without dramatizing and without deviating from facts. We want the reader to feel informed, not overwhelmed, and to receive a picture that enables them to independently assess what a given decision means for their everyday life.

The political desk believes in the importance of open and responsible journalism. In a world full of quick reactions and sensationalism, we choose diligent, long-term work on texts that offer a broader perspective. It is a slower path, but the only one that ensures content that is thorough, credible, and in the service of the reader. Our approach has grown from decades of experience and the conviction that an informed citizen is the strongest guardian of democratic processes.

That is why our publications do not merely follow the daily news cycle. They seek to understand what political events truly mean, where they lead, and how they fit into the broader picture of international relations. We write with respect for the reader and with the awareness that politics is not an isolated field, but a space where economy, culture, identity, security, and the individual life of each person intersect.
