The professional healthcare system is organized by counties, and there are major hospitals in every county.

If something happens to you on uninhabited Croatian islands, you can be in the nearest hospital in less than 15 minutes

Croatian inhabited islands always have doctors and nurses on call, situated in strategic positions and organized for providing optimal service, particularly in the summer season, when potential injuries exceed the number, compared to the rest of the year. Ambulances are typically used for transporting patients on islands, but there are also helicopters available for emergencies on uninhabited islands. 

Every year, the Croatian Medical Board, together with the Croatian Ministry of Health and Education, provides and provisions extra medical teams, expecting a rise in hospital visitations, especially between June and September. By implication, tourists and visitors can feel safe when coming to spend their summer holiday in Croatia.
