TIRANA, March 18 /ATA/ – Prime Minister Edi Rama highlighted significant investment projects to transform Albania’s healthcare sector and the developments in the healthcare landscape during his government’s three consecutive terms in office.
Answering to the questions on the social media, PM Rama also noted that a total of 53 new hospitals, over 400 healthcare centres have been constructed across the country since he took office.
“We have built 53 hospitals and over 400 health care centres. The Korça hospital is currently under construction and it will complete 2027,” PM Rama said, adding that the hospital in the south-eastern Albanian city of Korça had not been rehabilitated since it was built in 1927.
PM Rama underlined that the state budget for the country’s healthcare system has increased to over 760 million euros from 250 million euros back in 2013, adding that more than 600 000 citizens now receive health care for free, although they haven’t paid health insurance.
The government head recalled the remarks by the European Union’s Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos during her visit to Tirana a few days ago, affirming that Albania is set to wrap up the EU accession negotiations by 2027.
