Naftalan Special Hospital

Global leader in natural treatment

Welcome to the special hospital for medical rehabilitation in Ivanić Grad. Unique natural treatment with naftalan and saline thermal water in the heart of Croatia

Why naftalan?

The uniqueness of the Naftalan Special Hospital in Ivanić-Grad as a health tourism destination lies precisely in its use of saline thermal water and medicinal oil – naftalan. This naftalan site is the only one of its kind in Europe, and the second one recorded world-wide. Ever since 1989, we have been successfully performing treatments that are not available anywhere else in this form.

Natural treatment

Naftalan, mineral oil obtained by distillation of naphthenic oil, is considered a natural healing agent. It contains steranes – compounds similar to steroid hormones and provitamin D – endowing it with exceptional anti-inflammatory and desensitizing properties.

Health from the ancient Pannonian Sea

The deposit of medicinal oil, naphthalan, is the only one of its kind in Europe, and only the second recorded in the world, which makes the Naftalan Special Hospital and the entire region a health phenomenon on a global scale.

This modern health care center is unobtrusively integrated into nature, at the very springs of medicinal thermal water, surrounded by a centuries-old park.
