Since its political reform in the early 1990s, Albania has improved significantly in areas such as health and justice –however medical care outside of Tirana is very limited due to the lack of medical specialists and supplies. In recent years, the country has become known as a tourist destination. Being a coastal Mediterranean country, Albania is the destination for 4.2 million visitors each year.
Healthcare in Albania
Although Tirana has many healthcare facilities, basic health requirements are still developing in most parts of Albania. Since the collapse of socialism, the healthcare system has been on a steady decline. However, throughout the 2000s, modernization movements improved healthcare systems throughout the country, providing immunizations and medicine for much of the country. With a life expectancy of 77.96, Albania is currently ranked 60th in the world. To know about healthcare system in Albania check out our healthcare region page.
