Medical Services

Here is how this works in practice. We supply on-set medical services that keep production crews safe and covered across Croatian shoots. Our team places set medics and medical teams who check risk during prep, attend the shoot with fitting gear, and give first response and casualty care wherever a production films, from remote Adriatic islands and water shoots off the coast to mountain locations in Velebit and busy urban sets in Dubrovnik and Zagreb.

Here is the short of it. They plan evacuation routes, set up with the nearest Croatian hospitals and emergency services, and brief the production on medical provision for stunts, water work and crowd days. A medical-services provider we place works in English alongside global crews, advises the production on health and safety compliance, and brings the reassurance that a unit is well covered in even the most remote location.

Here is the breakdown. Medical provision on Croatian shoots operates within Croatian and EU health and safety rules. Productions are expected to plan medical cover proportionate to the risks of a given location and scene. The growth of service shoots under the HAVC-administered 'Filming in Croatia' incentive has built medical teams skilled with the specific hazards of Croatian filming. This includes sun and heat on coastal exteriors, water work around the islands, and access challenges in national parks such as Plitvice.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Medical-services providers we place set up with Croatia's well-developed public hospital network and emergency services, work alongside safety officers on evacuation and risk planning, and know the EU framework for cross-border healthcare that gains global crews. Croatia's EU and Schengen membership simplifies bringing in pro medical staff from neighbouring countries when a high-risk sequence calls for extra cover.
