Keywords:
prevention, Euro Health Consumer Index, Croatian healthcare system, professor Andrija Štampar, efficiency, economyAbstract
This paper compares the current status of prevention in Croatia and the European countries. The paper uses data collected by Health Consumer Powerhouse, a Swedish research company that in its yearbook called "Euro Health Consumer Index" performs analysis and ranking of European countries by indicators and subgroups considering the effectiveness of their healthcare systems. The analysis shows that the Croatian healthcare system is very effective considering the invested funds. Croatia also has the most unfavourable results in the categories related to preventive activities that are one of the major achievements of professor Andrija Štampar and his followers.
