Summary: In the context of recent events related to European integration, and in concordance with economic, political and democratic changes in the Republic of Croatia, there is a necessity for transformation and health service improvement based on recognized scientific principles. This necessity can be ralized within our project by the support and help of the World Health Organization (WHO), and through experience and permanent data exchange in the framework of similar movements in the European health care systems. Namely, WHO is by Regional Office for Europe (EURO/WHO), the main mediator of the new general strategy for the European integration in the field of health services. This aspiration towards common European health policy is being started in 1980, when the new strategy "Health for all by the Year 2000" has been carried out (1984 additionaly supplemented by 38 European targets). Evaluation of that strategy has been enabled on the part of all member states (they all have accepted global and regional strategies) in concordance with the plan of program realization, by regular reporting of its implementation and progress. For this purpose, establishment of the Office for the Cooperation between the WHO and the Republic of Croatia (Office), has been anticipated. By intercession of this Office the exchange of professional information, publications and documentation, would be realized. Gradual attachment of the Croatian health care system to the united European health care system, as well as the development of the Croatian own program: Policy and strategy "Health for all by the year 2000", would be done. Joining in some existing and established EURO/WHO projects, like "CINDI" Programme for noncommunicable disease risk factor prevention, "Healthy City", "Environmental and Health", "Diabetes Care and Research in Europe: St. Vincent Declaration Action Programme", "Health Promoting Schools", "Quality of Care Development Programme in Europe" projects. Participation in the preparation and implementation of joint programms in the field of health care in cooperation with other UN Agencies (World Bank, UNDP).
