Tirana, Albania
As a foreigner living in Tirana, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Tirana if they have access to public healthcare in Tirana. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"As a foreigner living in Tirana, you will have access to public healthcare, but the quality and availability of services may not be up to the standards you are used to in your home country. Public healthcare in Albania is known to be underfunded and understaffed, with outdated equipment and facilities. Many locals and expats prefer to seek private healthcare or travel to neighboring countries for more advanced medical treatments. It is highly recommended to have comprehensive health insurance to cover any private healthcare costs or medical evacuation if necessary," remarked another expat who made the move to Tirana, Albania.
