Who licenses clinics in Rijeka
Rijeka is in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County (Primorsko-goranska ลพupanija).
Regional authority
Ministry of Health of the Republic of Croatia
Ministarstvo zdravstva Republike Hrvatske
In Croatia private clinics are approved nationally, not by the county: the Ministry first rules that the founding act complies with the law, then its expert commission inspects the premises.
Check a clinic or a doctor in Rijeka
The national registers for Croatia cover Rijeka too:
Doctors
Croatian Medical Chamber: register of doctors (Imenik lijeฤnika)
Search active members by first name and surname, or by their full membership number.
Dentists
Croatian Chamber of Dental Medicine
Dentists who practise must be members of the chamber and hold its licence to work independently. We found no public search: ask the dentist for their chamber licence, in writing.
Clinics
Croatian Institute of Public Health (HZJZ): National Register of Healthcare Providers
The institute publishes the list of every health institution, company and private practice entered in the national register, on the basis of the Ministry of Health's decisions, as an Excel file (status 20 May 2026): search the file for the clinic's name. In Croatian.
