Croatia: 50,000 await dementia care; plan targets prevention of nearly half of cases

Croatia's health insurer (HZZO) reports over 50,000 people awaiting dementia-related services, prompting a plan to integrate early detection, post-diagnostic support, and family assistance. The plan claims nearly half of dementia cases could be prevented, though specifics on implementation and funding remain unclear. This highlights a growing public-health burden in Croatia, with implications for healthcare capacity and policy.
