Health issues, whether it's a child's fever, a severe sore throat, or sudden toothache, often strike on Friday evening or during the weekend. To avoid unnecessary waiting or trips to the emergency room for ailments that can be treated outside the hospital, it's important to know where to seek help in Zagreb outside regular working hours.
