The Health Care Index has rated Tirana with 48 points for 2023, ranking 255 out of 266 cities in the world.

These assessments are based on cost, staffing (doctors, nurses and other medical personnel) and access to high quality medications.

The cities of the region are ranked better compared to Tirana.

The Bulgarian cities, Varna and Sofia, rated respectively with 62.2 and 57.4 points, are ranked in the index at 192 and 217. The Serbian capital, Belgrade, is rated with 53.5 points and occupies the 238th place.
