Croatia emergency medical helicopter operations

Overview

Emergency medical helicopter operations in Croatia have been utilized for critical patient transfers, including simultaneous transports for cardiac emergencies and the relocation of a critically ill pregnant woman by the Croatian Air Force.

Recent operations have brought attention to regional infrastructure limitations. In Bjelovar, multiple emergency landings occurred in a meadow near a stadium because the new Dr. Anđelko Višić General Hospital lacks a dedicated helipad.
