The Croatian Medical Association (HLZ) is a voluntary association of medical doctors and doctors of dental medicine, established on the distant date of 26 February 1874. It operates independently and continuously for 150 years.

The century-long existence of the Croatian Medical Association has been marked by the dedicated work of numerous generations of doctors and a multitude of professional and scientific achievements within the medical profession. Throughout their mandates, many presidents have led the Association, contributing to important activities within the medical profession, striving for its progress and improvement, proudly celebrating significant anniversaries and contributing to its history. The main mission and purpose of its operation throughout this time have been and remain the care for its members, as well as the entire body of physicians and the healthcare system.
