Vinkovci is a member of the Croatian Network of Healthy Cities and is nationally recognized as an award winning town for being a leader in implementing healthy lifestyles, and is known as “zdravi grad”, as recognized by the golden apple which adorns the entrance to the mayor’s office. Vinkovci town is home to some of Croatia’s finest health advocates and maintains health as a focus in the town planning, architecture and future development. Vinkovci was a recipient of funding from the European Union to develop public parklands, trails and strategic planting of herbs and trees to encourage healthy lifestyle and preserve clean air quality.

The Croatian Ministry of Health is a proud sponsor of this fair which attracts widespread national and international attention and participation. This year’s theme reviews implementations of equalized opportunities for veterans and people with disabilities. The event schedule offers numerous professional workshops, forums and symposiums, as well as events for the general public to participate.

In 2014, Vinkovci Health Fair organizers developed a strong working relationship with Canadian hotelier, Frank Vismeg and naturopathic doctor, Dr. Darlene Gustin who continue to support and participate in the development of Croatia’s growing industry of medical tourism. This year’s featured international guests include Antonio Giovanni De Blasio the General Hungary Consulate from Osijek, and Anu Vares, Member of the Executive Board of Healthy Cities of Estonia.
