May 26, 2022 – Croatia’s new platform ZagrebMed, set to launch as part of the country’s burgeoning health and wellness tourism offering later this year, has already gathered some impressive names.

Like Poslovni Dnevnik/Marija Crnjak writes, in October this year, a new digital platform for health tourism in the city of Zagreb called ZagrebMed will be launched, which will bring together about 20 leading health institutions from various fields of medicine, which are ready to take a significant step forward in the demanding global market.

The team led by Ivan Rendulic, founder and director of RexRea, who has been actively working on the development of Croatian medical tourism for eight years, has been working to connect patients with Croatian institutions and doctors.

Rendulic explained that they have strong support from the Zagreb Tourist Board in forming the Croatian platform ZagrebMed and revealed the details of the ambitious project.

Among the institutions that have already joined the future Croatian platform ZagrebMed are Klinika Svjetlost, Agram, Akromion, Magdalena, Aksis, Naftalan and polyclinics Bagatin, Sinteza, FIV Zagreb, LF Medical, Poliderma and Avitum, and some other well-known institutions are seated are currently preparing to join the expanding roster.

“We have excellent doctors and institutions in Zagreb with excellent services, but when we look outside of Croatia and visit various world fairs and gatherings dedicated to medical and health tourism, we realize that few people know the richness of this country’s offer. With the arrival of a large number of patients from Italy, we have developed our dental tourism offer, and we are slowly losing our grip on this market, because we have more and more competitors in Albania, Hungary, Serbia and more and more Italians patients end up going there instead of coming here,” warns Rendulic, who thus wishes to bring together leading institutions in the part of the Croatian ZagrebMed platform.

So far, ZagrebMed has 12 private health institutions under its belt, and the plan is to have around 20 top institutions by its launch in October.
