Sažetak

It is the aim of the present paper to provide a brief overview of the circumstances
that preceeded the establishing of the medical emergency service in Opatija (Croatia), in
1894. It is stressed that crucial role at that event can be attributed to the same physicians
and prominents who, thirteen years before, had founded the Vienna Voluntary Rescue Society
– J. N. Wilczek and J. Mundy. The medical emergency service in Opatija, then the elite
destination of the „Austrian Riviera”, was equiped very modernly and can be considered the
first real medical emergency service in the territory of our-days Republic of Croatia.
