Cross-border health response in Croatia and neighbouring countries (COVID-19)

There were examples of good cross-border co-operation in responding to the emergency, given that, among other things, patients in medical emergencies and persons in need of personal assistance both in Republic of Croatia and in neighbouring countries were provided with ambulance transport. There were many cases of emergency operations of foreign nationals in the Republic of Croatia during the COVID-19 outbreak, where emergency medical transports were allowed, and there were also certain departures of Croatian nationals for treatment abroad, which was coordinated with the border police of neighbouring countries at national, regional and local levels. High quality cross-border cooperation was achieved with neighbouring civil protection authorities relating to the exchange of information and humanitarian assistance.
