Albania
AIHA established a Primary Healthcare partnership in Albania in 2001. This partnership linked healthcare institutions in Albania’s Lezha District with Magee Women’s Hospital in Pittsburgh.After assessing the community, partners identified key focus areas, including women’s health, children’s respiratory ailments, health education, and allergies and environmental health concerns, as well as diarrheal disease, infection control, and sexually transmitted infections and HIV/AIDS. With funding from the Albanian Ministry of Health, the new Primary Healthcare Center was established in early 2003.
The Primary Healthcare Center is staffed by six general practitioners—including two general practitioners with training in obstetrics and four general practitioners with training in pediatrics—two midwives, eight nurses, one full-time social worker, one full-time lab technician, one full-time receptionist, and one half-time LRC Coordinator.
