Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: Doctors and nurses are leaving Albania in

Health professionals are migrating from Albania and the Western Balkans in high numbers, according to the latest report by German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. The report notes that currently, Albania has the lowest number of doctors and nurses per capita in Europe.

What strikes as most concerning is that at the beginning of this decade, seven percent of Albanian doctors worked abroad and a staggering 18 percent worked in 2019. Germany seems to be the most preferred destination for Albanian health professions as FAZ reports that 765 doctors with Albanian citizenship worked in Germany during 2019, which is 21 percent more than the previous year. In fact, Albania has the highest number of doctors from the region in Germany, followed by Serbia, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina
