This paper provides an insight into Croatian health system with special focus on trauma care. The current situation is explained from a domestic point of view, but an independent review by foreign observers is also included.
Fragmented approach to the treatment of injured patients in Croatia should be replaced by networking of health care componenets into a unique chain of help. The concept and five methodological steps in the development of a succesfull trauma system are presented. A good start is definitely a reorganization of existing knowledge on the basis of internationally licesed courses and the adoption of trauma registry as a standard for future discussion. Individual components of the trauma system can not be separately "optimized" so clinical and financial decisions should be planned exclusively on the integral level.
