Question 1

What is the history and background of Poliklinika Cito?

Accepted Answer

Poliklinika Cito was founded on 16 June 2002 in Split by primarius mr.sc. Boris Poljak, dr. med., initially as a modest gynaecology practice. By 2006 the clinic expanded its facilities by 100 m² and opened a dedicated gynaecology unit, followed by the launch of the region’s first private IVF laboratory, which has since facilitated over 7 500 IVF cycles and resulted in more than 3 200 children born through assisted reproduction. In 2014 the clinic acquired the Salus Special Hospital, adding 500 m² of space and new departments such as urology, surgery, and a daily hospital with dedicated patient apartments. Continuous investment in cutting‑edge equipment, like the Geri Time‑Lapse Incubator and GE Healthcare LOGIQ S8 ultrasound, has positioned Poliklinika Cito as a leader in reproductive medicine, with 15 years of experience in IVF and a commitment to high‑quality, patient‑centred care.
