Medical tourism: "New face? Go to Albania!" - Lala: Aesthetic services in Albania are many times cheaper than in the world
This is just one of many Italian citizens - and not only - who have come to Albania for medical tourism.
Although according to INSTAT, during the period January-April of this year, it is said that fewer tourists entered for health reasons, the situation in private clinics is different.
The main reason is that prices are many times lower than in the countries from which these patients come.
According to data from the Medical Tourism Corporation, Albania ranks among the cheapest countries in the world for dental services, with large differences in prices compared to Western Europe.
According to INSTAT data, during the January-April period of this year, 281 thousand Italians entered the country.
They constitute the largest group of tourists and are most exposed on social media for their visits to Albanian aesthetic clinics.
The growing development of this phenomenon is also influenced by the import of medical equipment. According to the website 'Statista', the projected revenues in the General and Plastic Surgery equipment market in Albania are expected to reach 7.15 million US dollars in 2025.
