How are healthcare services Albania?

When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Albania, they replied:

"Healthcare services in Albania are provided by both public and private institutions. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and is available to all citizens and foreign residents. The quality of public healthcare in Albania is generally considered to be good, with a wide range of services available. Expats in Albania can access the public healthcare system by registering with the local health authority and obtaining a health card. This card allows them to access the same services as Albanian citizens, including primary care, specialist care, and hospital services. Expats may also choose to use private healthcare services, which are generally more expensive but offer a higher standard of care," mentioned one expat in Albania.
