Abstract (english)
The Croatian Constitution guarantees every person the right to healthcare in accordance with the laws, as well as the right to healthy life. The practical realisation of the right to equal treatment in healthcare depends on having accessible healthcare facilities for everyone, without discrimination based on prohibited grounds, including gender identity and expression. These two grounds are explicitly recognised in the Croatian anti-discrimination legislation, and serve to protect and ensure equal access to healthcare services and health protection for transgender persons. The protection of intersex individuals is less explicit. The evaluation of the existing regulatory framework reveals that it might be easier to access certain health services at the cost of public health insurance in connection with, or after the legal recognition of change of legal gender or living in another gender identity. Even though the legal and clinical framework concerning the recognition of sex change or living in another gender identity has significantly improved in recent years, there are no other rules in place to accommodate or recognise special needs of transgender or intersex persons in healthcare. In addition, accessibility of specific health services for transgender and intersex persons may be impeded by the lack of funding and non-transparent decision making.
