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.

The national registers for Croatia cover Zagreb too:

Doctors

Croatian Medical Chamber: register of doctors (Imenik liječnika)

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

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.
