               Exhibition Croatian Nursing through History




               The exhibition "Croatian Nursing through History", opened on May 13rd 2024,   was authored
               by Josip Božić in the Croatian Chamber of Nurses in Zagreb. This permanent exhibition covers
               the nursing history of the country over the last 120 years, including the development of the
               nursing profession from the early days until the Homeland War. The exhibition contains more
               than 1,500 exhibits arranged in 16 different units which show the evolution of nursing uniforms,
               medical equipment and professional literature. The special attention is dedicated to nurses' role
               in different social contexts in the time of a war and the peace.

               The  unique  exhibition  is  known  beyond  Croatia,  providing  a  deep  insight  of  health's  care
               development  over the time. Exhibits  include some manuals,  diaries, professional  literature,
               surgical instruments, therapy, laboratory and patient care equipment used in the last century.
               The most interesting exhibits include as many as 30 different nurses' uniforms that were worn
               from the year 1921 onwards, expressing the evolution of style and functionality through out the
               decades.  Therefore, the display also reveals a century old medical instruments used in everyday
               health care, such as blood pressure gauges, surgical needles and material for suturing wounds.
               Some professional and educational nursing literature, crucial in the education, is very well
               presented. Furthermore, visitors are able to see some historical documents that contain patents
               and other sources, advancing the nurses' work, recognitions and awards given through out the
               history.

               By opening  this  exhibition at  the premises of the Croatian Chamber of  Nurses,  nursing in
               Croatia receives a permanent exhibition that preserves the memory of the development of the
               profession and highlights its importance in the health system and offers a unique insight into
               the importance and development of the nursing profession over time, making it a significant
               contribution to the understanding of health care in Croatia.
