    Alkier Radnić, Romina ; Milojica, Vedran ; Roblek, Vasja
    The paper explores the establishment and growth of private dental and aesthetic surgery practices in rural areas, focusing on their long-term sustainability. It examines how these practices can be ... integrated with economic development, leading to improved accessibility to healthcare, economic growth, demographic balance, and environmental sustainability. The study also delves into healthcare practices' environmental impact, information technology use, public health, and interdisciplinary collaboration to promote sustainability. The proposed strategic model offers recommendations for Croatian policymakers, healthcare providers, and local communities, including the provision of telemedicine, local business development through medical tourism, the adoption of eco-friendly healthcare practices, and the implementation of an effective marketing strategy. In conclusion, the study suggests that developing private dental and cosmetic surgery services in rural areas can transform these areas into sustainable communities, benefiting both residents and medical tourists.
