The government head announced via a social media post that “a partnership between Albanian doctors and the Filippo del Ponte Varese University Hospital in Milan will further strengthen and continue with specialization degree for young doctors, who will capitalize the experience of Italian professionals, further improving treatment of patients with various diagnoses.”

The “Queen Geraldine” Obstetric and Gynecological University Hospital is being restored under a project designed to expand the facility’s capacities and provide decent health care service for young mothers and newborns in a completely new space by preserving the building’s existing architecture, but also by employing state-of-the-art technology and meeting highest European standards.

The investment in upgrading the hospital will boost its capacities and it will also house the preterm birth centre, designed for the very first time for a maternity hospital in Albania.

The project on reconstruction and expansion of the Queen Geraldine maternity hospital includes three components: construction of a new three-storey building and a basement; complete reconstruction of the historic building that will preserve the details of the unique architecture on its facade, but also the building’s interior; expansion of the existing obstetric facility.
