Our previous observation
where is been noted the poor quality of the
health care services, violations of the
patients rights and the poor treatment
provided primary and secondary health care
institutions as well as in psychiatric
institutions.

orphans in orphanages has been target of
concerns of international and national
monitoring bodies.

Albanian Citizens in contact with health

Report the findings and the
abusive practices through activities on
