Hospital- Minerva Wellness & Thermal Pools – Varaždinske Toplice
Minerva operates within the Special Hospital for Medical Rehabilitation Varaždinske Toplice , one of Croatia’s historic thermal spa medical institutions. The facility is located in the spa town of Varaždinske Toplice, a destination known for its natural healing thermal springs that have been used for therapeutic purposes since Roman times.
The hospital provides specialized medical rehabilitation and physical medicine treatments supported by modern diagnostic services and therapeutic programs. Medical teams focus on recovery of mobility, musculoskeletal rehabilitation and treatment following orthopedic or traumatic injuries.
Rehabilitation services are provided through inpatient hospital departments and specialized therapy facilities including physiotherapy, medical gymnastics and diagnostic laboratories such as radiology and ultrasound diagnostics.
The Minerva complex traditionally combines medical treatment with wellness and health-tourism programs that use the region’s natural thermal sulfur water and therapeutic mud to support recovery and overall wellbeing.
