ALB: Solidar - Health Emergency


Albania suffers from insufficient resources for public health emergencies and poor quality of primary care emergency services. The project aims at supporting the Ministry of Health and Social Protection and non-health actors to establish a sound coordination based on clear regulations and standards for health emergencies. It will also strengthen the capacity of healthcare and enable community initiatives regarding health emergencies preparedness and response.

  • Community engagement initiatives regarding health emergencies preparedness and response, are almost completely absent. 
  • The earthquake in 2019 and the COVID-19 pandemic have sparked increased awareness and sensitivity on disasters and health emergencies. 
  • Both the National Strategy for Development and Integration 2021 – 2030 and the National health strategy 2021 – 2030 set for the first time as a priority the strengthening of the system response to emergencies at local and central level.
