For UK nationals emergency medical treatment is normally free on presentation of a UK passport. Since Croatia is now part of the EU, EU citizens can use EHIC cards to gain free medical care. Non-emergency care and prescribed medicines must be paid for. All travellers are advised to take out full medical insurance.
Vaccinations against hepatitis B and tuberculosis are sometimes advised. Precautions should be taken against tick bites. For anyone planning to spend long periods of time in forested areas, carrying a pair of tick tweezers is advised, and immunisation against tick-borne encephalitis is also a possible precaution. Rabies is present. If you are bitten, seek medical advice without delay.
