Sažetak
Nowadays it is beyond all doubt that the health care activity in its entire volume, on the one hand, represent parts of the global economic system, developing in a considerable mutual dependence. In the paper, within the scope of the development of tourism, one of its narrower segments is perceived: the health care of the tourist population. The research work has been done in Istria, one of the most outstanding tourist destinations, where scientists and experts have been working intensively on the tourism development forecast up to 2010.
In addition to healthy food, clean sea and environment, a tourist has to have certainty that in case of illness he/she will get a service corresponding to the world standards. The concourse of tourism and health care gives answers to the question what should be done to achieve a harmony in the development of both activities, and in this way the general progress of the Croatian State.
For the requirements of this paper adaptation possibilities of the health system to the new situation have been researched on the basis of perception of the institutional condition of the health care activity, staff and material supply and equipment for the work in new conditions. In the first part the population health condition is researched on the basis of relevant indicators such as morbidity and mortality of the inhabitants, movement of the number of born and deceased, volume and structure of sick leaves and the like. In the second part an analysis is made and the health care development degree stated for Istria as the tourist resource.
On the basis of the entire research work it could be concluded that the health care of Istria has at its disposal staff potential and capital objects that enable a fast adaptation in harmony with the development of tourism.
