Croatia is considered as a country with a quite high quality of medical care. Zagreb is not an exemption and medical facilities are also good there. There is a healthcare center in each area of the city. So if you are registered with HZZO (Hrvatski zavod za zdravstveno osiguranje) and need to visit a doctor, you have to go to the nearest one without any appointment. However, if you are still interested in finding a private doctor, you can ask your friends or check at your embassy (they can know doctors who speak your native language). Furthermore, doctors usually speak English on a working level.

Medications in Croatia are provided by pharmacies that can work 24/7. Furthermore, you can easily order medication online.

If you live in Croatia you are required to be insured. There is the official health insurance fund (HZZO) that offers an obligatory for everyone public health insurance plan. It costs ≈400 HRK/month and is deducted from the gross amount, including pension and taxes. With this health insurance you are covered for 90% of cases, but in some rare situations, you can be asked to pay additionally for some medicine or stay in the hospital. To avoid that, it is recommended to all employees to pay additional private health insurance (10 euro monthly). So you can choose whether you will be treated only in the state sector or will take additional private insurance for covering extra payments and better access to all facilities.
