“Almost 30 years ago, I was treating local patients as well as tourists at my private medical practice in Croatia. During the last 15 years, I have gathered international, intercontinental, and intercultural experiences in Austria.
The stigmatization of patients in tourism, as well as the failure of interdisciplinary communication, were „triggers “ for the campaign “Health Benefit”.
