As the private sector is experiencing a boom due to the lack of clear rules, many foreigners come to Albania to take advantage of this technique.

A method that was not offered in public hospitals until 2024. This year, after a long procedural struggle, the first cases have started. At least 13 free in vitro fertilizations were performed at the public hospital, Koco Gliozheni.
