Local health insurance
Albania has a state-run healthcare system financed by contributions from the working population. Public hospitals and clinics are often underfunded, resulting in limited equipment and longer wait times. Foreigners without a permanent residence or employment contract typically have limited access to state coverage; private policies are available but not always comprehensive.
International health insurance
In Albania, an international policy offers decisive advantages: it may cover treatment in private clinics and, if necessary, transport to another country with better medical infrastructure. Specialized procedures, for which local resources or expertise may be insufficient, are also included.
