The Croatian Population and Responsibilities for Medical Protection

Abstract

The population and territory of the Republic of Croatia are exposed to the dangers resulting from natural, industrial disasters, as well as crises caused by the war. In the period between 1991 and 1995, Croatia and its population were affected by war. Apart from the Croatian Army, at the battlefields, front lines and in the rear, some segments of medical services and civil defense (1,2,3,4,5) actively participated in the defense and protection of the population. The war, which was imposed to Croatia, put many services, institutions, defense and civil protection systems (6,7,8,9) on test. The experience has shown that a positive level of safety and health status of the population should be a priority task of the organized forces of the Croatian society. The knowledge of the factors defined of the whole health status should help the persons assessing and planning the health situations to make their assessments and plans of the defense and protection health segment convincing and realistic.
