Abstract

Searching for an answer whether medicine is a science or an art, especially in today’s time
when the emphasis is on the biotechnological aspects of treatment, the intention of this paper
is to reflect on the outcomes of the encounter of medicine and art. Those that are recognised
at least in the complementarity of the methodology, creating additional life values. By presenting authentic actions, this is a call for additional health improvement interventions,
without allowing the biopsychosocial approach to human integrity to be forgotten. The inspiration for this view was the prestigious title of the European Capital of Culture that the
Town of Rijeka was awarded for the year 2020. This city is also a kind of capital of health
culture in many ways.
