Do you know how and where the first public health centre in Slovenia began operating? How were the wounded and the sick cared for during the two world wars and the Slovenian War of Independence in 1991? Have you heard of the "iron lung," or do you know how many decades have passed since the first open-heart surgery was performed in Slovenia?

The history of healthcare in Slovenia holds many valuable and fascinating stories. If you’re curious about how it has evolved since the early 20th century, they warmly invite you to visit their temporary exhibition Health Is Our Greatest Wealth, which highlights selected stories from Slovenia’s medical and healthcare heritage.
