A woman from Zagreb was pleasantly surprised after needing emergency medical care during her stay in Dubrovnik. Although she found a large number of people in the waiting room, including many tourists, the entire process from admission to treatment was completed in unexpectedly short time.

According to her experience, published by Zagreb.info on August 12, 2026, the total time from arrival to completion of treatment was an hour and a half.

Expected Half a Day, Got an Hour and a Half

The Zagreb woman recounted that, seeing how many people were in the waiting room, she was convinced she would spend considerably more time there. "When I saw how many people were in the waiting room, I really thought I'd be there for half a day. In the end, everything was done in about an hour and a half," she said.

She particularly highlighted the kindness of the medical staff, who, despite the crowd, were professional and accommodating throughout. "The staff was very kind," she emphasized.

Comparison with Zagreb

Her experience in Dubrovnik immediately reminded her of situations where she sought emergency care in Zagreb. "In Zagreb, with such a full waiting room, I've spent hours in the ER. That's why this really surprised me. I expected a much longer wait, especially now in the middle of the season when Dubrovnik is full of tourists," she recounted.

However, she is aware that this is a personal experience and that waiting times in the emergency room depend on a number of circumstances, primarily the urgency of individual patients. Regardless, she left the Dubrovnik hospital with a very positive impression.

"I really have nothing bad to say. There were a lot of people, but everything worked, and the staff was very kind the whole time," she concluded.
