In a major feature published by Večernji list, the International Medical Center Priora is presented as an example of a top-tier medical institution that, in just one year of operation, is pushing the boundaries of Croatian healthcare and becoming a reference point for patients from across Europe.
The article highlights how leading physicians Tomislav Kalem, MD, MSc, and Milomir Ninković, MD, PhD, after decades of professional careers in Germany, decided to return home and bring their expertise to Slavonia. Their work has resulted in numerous innovations, most notably the introduction of the Da Vinci robotic surgical system, one of the most advanced in the world. It was at Priora that the first robot-assisted prostatectomies in Croatia were performed.

The feature also covers the story of the region’s most modern Urology Department, which uses cutting-edge technology such as Mona Lisa Dx Biobot, Histolog, and HoLEP—equipment typically found only in elite clinics in Germany and Switzerland. IMC Priora thereby provides more precise diagnostics, shorter recovery times, reduced risk of complications, and, most importantly, greater chances of successful treatment.

Special attention is given to the education of local surgeons and the return of medical professionals from abroad. According to Dr. Kalem, the current team consists of physicians who could easily work in any European hospital. Moreover, patients no longer need to travel abroad, as Priora delivers European-level medical care under more accessible conditions.
IMC Priora is recognized as a blend of advanced technology, international expertise, and a human-centered approach, with a clear mission: to provide every patient with the highest standard of care, without compromise.
