Bolnica GŠ NOV in POS, Novigrad, Zadar, Croatia

Due to the overcrowding of partisan hospitals with wounded and sick patients, 512 patients were evacuated. The organizer was the Sanitation Department of the NOV and POS at the end of 1944 and in January 1945. The hospital was organized at the Base of the Main Staff of Slovenia in Dalmatia, which supplied Slovenian units with weapons, food, and clothing. It was named the Main Staff Hospital of the NOV and POS in Novigrad. It was located in three buildings: the Municipal House, the Sokol House, and the school. The administration was composed of the administrator, medical assistant Andrej Senica-Franjo, and political commissioner Anton Valentinčić. The care was provided by the Command of the Zadar Military Area. A surgical department was organized, led by Andrej Senica, and an internal department under the leadership of Dr. Saine Praprotnik, a specialist in infectious diseases who came from the Italian internment. Part of the hospital was relocated to Zadar, into the Bristol Hotel building and partially damaged hospital "San Demetrio" due to expansion. In February 1945, the hospital housed 486 patients and 74 staff members.

Due to the significant increase in medical institutions in Zadar, the Sanitation Department was established at the Command of the Base of the Main Staff of the NOV and POS, and Dr. Janez Miličinski was appointed as the head of the department, who was sent to Dalmatia on February 26, 1945. The department was first located in the Ilirija Hotel and later moved to the hospital. At the beginning of March 1945, Dr. Zvezdana-Reja was transferred from the Topusko base to become the administrator of the hospital in Zadar. The hospital had two surgical departments. The first was led by Dr. Alfred Šerko, and the second by Dr. Zlata Hribar. The head of the surgical service was Dr. Milan Premrov.
