Abstract
Data on the State of Art of Medicine and Surgery in Albania, are given in this short survey. From recent epidemiological data, conditioned by high rate of migration and territory problems, to problems arising from lack of technological supports and important changes in medical education. An analysis that we could do from the observatory of our Medical School, and international one, based on a strict collaboration among an international professor staff, mostly coming from Italian Universities, particularly the University of Rome, “Tor Vergata”, co-founder of the “Catholic University Our Lady of Good Counsel” (UCNSBC). The integration between academics in UCNSBC and health personnel in health care offers some interesting opportunities in research. The recognized limited technological supports create the possibilities to adjust and ameliorate health care services, with the aim of a more convenient distribution of the available resources.
