Designed as a level 1 Trauma and acute care center, Clinical Hospital Dubrava would have been one of the top hospitals for medical care in the region.

Currently the hospital has 680~ contracted hospital beds. Clinical Hospital Dubrava is a level 1 acute trauma center and referral medical center, one of several in Zagreb (the other being Rebro, and Vinogradska Hospitals).

Plans call for a new surgical wing and additional labs and hospital wards. Currently the hospital is among the best medical facilities in the country, ranked 3rd nationwide by number and scope of treatments and specialists.
