Za zdravo družbo (For a Healthy Society) is a Slovenian political party established on 26 March 2018.[1] According to its own statements, it is a non-ideological party.[2]

In 2021, a message appeared on their website indicating that the party was in the process of dissolution.[2]

The civil-society, non-party movement Gibanje Zdrava družba (Healthy Society Movement) participated in the 2022 parliamentary elections under the name Non-party People's List of the Healthy Society Movement.[3]
