Only Croatia reported developments in the field of health care, where the Ministry of Health prepared a draft ordinance on health care standards for applicants and beneficiaries of international protection. This was submitted for e-consultation and was in the final stages. Civil society organisations noted that the staff of health centres were often not informed that the costs of medical treatments for beneficiaries of international protection were paid by the Ministry of Health, which caused many issues in practice.665
