Sažetak
Regardless of the restrictive directives of the world’s most powerful culture broker and tourist patroniser, such as UNESCO, Croatia was successful in entering the 2013 worlds Heritage intangible list with 14 cultural domains worth safeguarding. The public health system of dealing with epidemics from the 13century Dubrovnik (Grmek, 1980, 1996 ; Blažina and Blažina, 2008) to the 2020 Corona virus was not one of them. With a plethora of factography the analysis of this paper encompasses major global issues of today’s treating cultures where cultural paradigms are abused in the service off the elite-driven competitive global concepts (Matta, 2016) including their capacity of dealing with pandemics. It further analyses the continuing issue of Croatia's Štamparian health system dismantlement of over three decades (Špoljar Vržina, 2008, 2011, 2012, 2020) in which the history of Croatian medicine became almost obsolete in its power to be presented to the world as a path-breaking system in which solidarity, specific knowledges of its professionals and humanity of all its people were (and are) intertwined and not divisible into classifications, lists and conglomerates of monetary instrumentalized cultural values. If today’s only comparison that can be drawn is the geographical potential of a Croatian site for a Hollywood mega hit (Vis, ‘Mamma Mia!’ 2, 2017) it should also be known as a global site prepared for Corona virus outbreaks. Especially in view of the fact that island Vis, as much of Croatia’s natural ‘beauty’, encompasses caves with over 10 bat species (one of the main vectors of the virus, Zhou et al., 2020) and a timeline of it’s peoples capability of answering the pandemic quest, both professionally and ethically. Yet no official list is interested in such complex heritage which remains to be further contested.
