title: [Private contracted primary health physician: today and tomorrow].
abstract: Contracted primary health physician is the cornerstone of health care system. He is the main provider of all contracted obligations. It is necessary to evaluate the role of other contributors and organizational forms. Not the practice ownership but contract with the Croatian Institute of Health Insurance is fundamental for the status of general practitioners. Primary care should be based on Group Practice and Primary Health Trusts.
