Lana Hudeček

Abstract

In the paper the authors analyze the difference in meaning of the nouns zdravlje and zdravstvo using Croatian dictionaries and Croatian National Corpus and argue that the name of the ministry should be Ministrarstvo zdravstva (Ministry of Health Care) and not Ministarstvo zdravlja (Ministry of Health) whereas a health centre should be called dom
zdravlja and not dom zdravstva. They also show that there are two adjectives zdravstveni, one relating to the word zdravlje (health) and the other to the word zdravstvo (health care).
