Free accommodation during treatment in Zagreb

To cope with the disease is difficult, and it becomes even more difficult when the treatment takes place in another city. That is why the Humanitarian Association Fra Mladen Hrkac was founded, which provides free accommodation to sick people and their family members and other accompanying persons during treatment far from their own home.

The accommodation capacities of the association are apartments and houses located near the most important Zagreb hospitals.

The accommodation is intended for all those who are in need during long-term treatment, rehabilitation or other medical procedures and when arriving for the first or control examinations that cannot be carried out in their own place of residence. The free accommodation service provides the users with the opportunity to come for treatment without worrying about the significant financial expenses that are necessary to organize life in the capital of Croatia. Unfortunately, financial barriers often stand in the way of receiving quality health care.

Accommodation is organized in rented residential areas in several different locations near hospitals. In one apartment or house, users are placed together with other families who are in the same situation, where each family has its own private room, and common rooms are available to all. In the accommodation facilities there are food and hygiene products, large and small household appliances, kitchen, central heating, air conditioning and wireless internet access without restrictions. In the common areas, users have the opportunity to get to know each other and be supportive of each other.
