Health care in Slovenia is a public service provided through the public health service network. This network also includes, on an equal basis, other institutions, private physicians and other private service providers on the basis of concessions.
For centuries Slovenian artists have made great contributions to the development of a versatile culture. In addition, the Romans, the Crusaders and the armies of Napoleon, Hitler, Suvorov, Austria and Turkey have left their imprints in Slovenia’s culture. Many medieval trade routes passed through the territory of Slovenia and the country was a conduit of many ideas of the Italian Renaissance.
A nation boasting more than a 1000-year long history, a pioneer in many fields with groundbreaking achievements often attributed to others, the Slovenians still have to work on the issues big nations take for granted.
