Croatian Institute of Public Health (CIPH) is the central public health institution in the Republic of Croatia, dedicated to maintaining and advancing the health of all its citizens. Through combining scientific research, health policies and practical implementation, CIPH deals with disease prevention, health promotion, and controlling and combating communicable and non communicable diseases. In addition, CIPH actively monitors and examines the health impact of serial environmental factors and deals with the consequences of human interventions in the environment and the impact of environment and climate change on human health and biosafety. Our Organisation also develops strategies for resistance and response to crisis situations, including public health emergencies and natural disasters. Because of our role as the central point and source of health data, information and expert guidelines, we have become an indispensable partner in creation of public health policies and maintaining public health on national and international level. The Institute’s activities are structured around three focal points: predicting, understanding, and action. This entails data collection and analysis, with monitoring recent occurrences and trends in key determinants of the populations’ health, which enables creating policies that will contribute to advancing and maintaining the health of all citizens through One Health approach.
