Minister of Health prof. dr. sc. Vili Beroš, on the occasion of the World Health Innovation Day, pointed out to Health Hub: “As we are celebrating our Olympic sports achievements, we are equally proud of our innovative health projects that put us on the global map of excellence in health care, from transplantation medicine to the launch of ePrescription, eReceipts, central eCarton, Health Portal, from initiating national programs for lung, prostate, melanoma cancer screening to the launch of new National Preventive Medical Check-ups as well as National Laboratory for Gene Profiling of Tumors and robotic surgery. We've made numerous innovative investments in the public health system. One of the last ones that we have publicly presented is the Da Vinci robotic surgical system at University Hospital Centre Zagreb, currently the most innovative robotic surgical system in the world that will greatly help our healthcare professionals and patients. Robotic surgery is a great step forward in surgery, it has numerous positive effects on treatment outcomes as well as on the extent of hospitalization absentism and overall financial costs. Surgical procedures are minimized and thus, using the most modern technology, treatment outcomes are improved. The plan is to invest in other clinical hospital centers so as in the development of centers of excellence. In addition, we are particularly proud of our telemedicine infrastructure that enables healthcare services at a distance, which is invaluable to our citizens, especially those in remote or less accessible areas. Telemedicine implements faster access to diagnosis and treatment, reduces the need for travel and improves the efficiency of the entire system. In this way, Croatia is setting new standards in the integration of technology and health care as well as further strengthening our position on the world scene of innovations in health care. However, we must be aware that all mentioned is a curative approach and that a real change in the functioning of the health system paradigm can be achieved through the development of prevention, which is one of the key goals of the initiated reform of the Croatian healthcare system. By combining prevention with the most modern treatment techniques, I truly believe that we will achieve better treatment outcomes and improve the quality of life for our patients - one of the pillars of the reform of the Croatian healthcare system.

Neven Kolarić, General Manager for Croatia and Bulgaria & Founding Partner of ExCEEd Orphan, highlighted extraordinary value of innovation in the field of rare diseases, bringing hope to patients and their caregivers... Rare diseases are part of social responsibility, as UN quoted, so World Health Innovation Day is an amazing opportunity to address rare diseases as important pillar of societies, where embracing innovations through social compact and faster access can change the course of life and care. "For us, being a torchbearer of health innovation means being a leader in enabling the application of advanced therapeutic solutions that change the lives of patients. Our mission is to represent innovative medicines for the treatment of rare diseases, enabling patients to have access to the latest achievements in medical science and significantly improving their quality of life.   Changing the horizons of innovation, especially in the field of rare diseases, requires a strong collaboration with health professionals and a constant commitment to improving the quality of life of patients. Working with innovative medicines is a challenge because these treatments are new and unknown, which often requires additional efforts in education and adaptation. However, the reward is immeasurable when the patient begins to show signs of recovery and improvement. Through partnership with doctors and other healthcare professionals, we continue to implement advanced therapies that bring real changes to patients' lives, giving them hope and the possibility for a better tomorrow."   *****   „Biti bakljonoša inovacija u zdravstvu za nas znači biti predvodnik omogućavanju primjene naprednih terapijskih rješenja koja mijenjaju živote pacijenata. Naša misija je zastupati inovativne lijekove za liječenje rijetkih bolesti, omogućavajući pacijentima pristup najnovijim dostignućima medicinske znanosti i značajno poboljšavajući kvalitetu njihovog života.   Mijenjanje horizonta inovacija, posebno na području rijetkih bolesti, zahtijeva snažnu suradnju sa zdravstvenim stručnjacima i neprestanu posvećenost poboljšanju kvalitete života pacijenata. Rad s inovativnim lijekovima predstavlja izazov jer su ti tretmani novi i nepoznati, što često zahtijeva dodatne napore u edukaciji i prilagodbi. Međutim, nagrada je neizmjerna kada pacijent počne pokazivati znakove oporavka i poboljšanja. Kroz partnerski rad s liječnicima i drugim zdravstvenim djelatnicima, nastavljamo  implementirati napredne terapije koje donose stvarne promjene u živote pacijenata, pružajući im nadu i mogućnost za bolje sutra."
