Medical tourism in Albania includes private specialist consultations, diagnostic procedures and medical examinations for patients who are already visiting the country or who travel specifically for healthcare.
This New Holidays page acts as a medical tourism hub rather than the profile of one unnamed “international medical centre”. Its purpose is to help patients identify a real medical provider, understand which specialties are currently represented and open the detailed clinic page before submitting an enquiry.
At present, the principal verified medical clinic represented by New Holidays in Albania is Klinika Kajo in Tirana. The clinic focuses on gastro-hepatology, cardiology and supporting laboratory diagnostics.
Rather than adding fictional providers or generic clinic names simply to create a longer directory, additional medical clinics should be added to this page only when they can be identified as real providers with a clear location, medical team and treatment scope.
Featured Private Medical Clinic in Tirana
The medical provider currently represented in detail on this Albania hub is Klinika Kajo in Tirana. Its individual New Holidays profile contains more extensive information about the doctors, diagnostic procedures, published prices, location and appointment enquiries.
Klinika Kajo Tirana – Gastroenterology & Cardiology
Klinika Kajo is a private medical clinic in Tirana founded in 1999 by Prof. Asc. Dr Ilir Kajo and Prof. Dr Efrosina “Nina” Kajo. Its principal clinical areas are gastro-hepatology, cardiology and laboratory diagnostics.
The clinic provides specialist consultations together with procedures and investigations such as gastroscopy, colonoscopy, abdominal ultrasound, ECG, cardiac ultrasound, ECG Holter monitoring, ambulatory blood-pressure monitoring and laboratory testing.

Medical tourism generally means travelling outside your usual place of residence for a specialist consultation, diagnostic examination or medical procedure.
Some patients arrange private healthcare while they are already staying in Albania. Others travel to Tirana specifically after identifying a doctor, clinic or examination they need.
The medical requirement should determine how the trip is organised. A specialist consultation may require only one appointment, while diagnostic procedures can involve preparation, additional testing or follow-up after results become available.
For this reason, patients should begin with the actual medical problem rather than selecting a treatment simply because a package or test appears inexpensive.
Specialist Consultations
Patients may seek a private specialist because of an existing diagnosis, persistent symptoms or the need for further medical assessment. Before travelling, confirm which doctor would conduct the consultation.
Diagnostic Procedures
Procedures such as gastroscopy, colonoscopy, echocardiography and longer-term cardiac monitoring can require preparation or additional clinical information before the appointment.
Laboratory Diagnostics
Blood tests and other laboratory investigations can support a specialist consultation. However, the appropriate tests should depend on the medical question rather than simply ordering a large panel because it is available.
Follow-Up Care
A medical visit may not end when the diagnostic procedure is completed. Some patients need laboratory analysis, pathology results or a later discussion with the specialist.
Medical Specialties Currently Represented
The New Holidays Albania medical section currently has verified provider coverage in gastroenterology, hepatology, cardiology and diagnostic medicine through Klinika Kajo.
These specialties describe the services of the currently represented provider. They should not be interpreted as a claim that every private medical clinic in Albania provides the same examinations.
Gastroenterology and Hepatology
Private gastroenterology care can involve assessment of conditions affecting the oesophagus, stomach, intestine, liver and related digestive organs.
Patients may seek medical assessment for persistent abdominal pain, reflux, changes in bowel habits, unexplained anaemia, gastrointestinal bleeding or an existing digestive or liver diagnosis.
Klinika Kajo provides gastro-hepatology consultations together with digestive endoscopy, abdominal ultrasound and supporting laboratory investigations.

Gastroscopy and Colonoscopy
Digestive endoscopy allows a specialist to directly examine parts of the gastrointestinal tract.
Gastroscopy examines the oesophagus, stomach and first part of the small intestine. Colonoscopy, meanwhile, allows assessment of the colon and rectum.
These procedures should follow an appropriate medical indication. Depending on the findings, the doctor may also obtain tissue samples for further examination.
Cardiology
Private cardiology assessment can involve more than one type of test.
Depending on symptoms, previous medical history and cardiovascular risk factors, a cardiologist may use ECG, echocardiography, Holter monitoring, ambulatory blood-pressure monitoring or exercise testing.
Klinika Kajo currently provides several of these investigations from its Tirana location.

Medical Laboratory Diagnostics
Laboratory investigations can support the work of gastroenterologists, cardiologists and other medical specialists.
The currently represented clinic provides biochemical, hematological, hormonal, microbiological and other laboratory testing according to clinical requirements.
How to Choose a Private Medical Clinic in Albania
A useful clinic profile should allow patients to identify who will provide the care and what type of medicine the clinic actually practices.
Before arranging a consultation or diagnostic procedure, consider:
- The clinic name
- The clinic location
- The doctor responsible for the consultation
- The relevant medical specialty
- The examination being proposed
- Why the examination is needed
- Preparation requirements
- Whether sedation is involved
- Current consultation or procedure cost
- Whether follow-up may be required
- Language requirements
- Medical records required in advance
Look Beyond “Best Clinic” Claims
Terms such as “best medical clinic in Albania” or “best doctor in Tirana” are too broad to help patients choose specialist healthcare.
A clinic may have relevant expertise in gastroenterology but not provide another medical specialty. The more useful question is whether the named doctor and provider deal with the particular medical problem you need assessed.
Identify the Actual Doctor
For specialist medicine, patients should know which doctor is expected to conduct the consultation or procedure.
This becomes particularly important for invasive examinations or complex medical conditions where professional experience in the relevant specialty matters more than a generic description of a “modern clinic”.
Check the Scope of the Clinic
A practice focused on a smaller number of medical specialties may be more relevant for a specific problem than a generic centre that publishes a long list of unrelated treatments without identifying who provides them.
Medical Treatment Costs in Albania
This medical tourism hub does not publish one general Albania price table because different private clinics and medical specialties do not share one national fee schedule.
Instead, current prices should relate to the actual provider and procedure.
Where a clinic publishes a sufficiently clear current price list, selected costs can be included on that provider’s individual profile.
Klinika Kajo currently publishes prices for specialist consultations, gastroscopy, colonoscopy, echocardiography, ECG, Holter monitoring, ambulatory blood-pressure monitoring and laboratory investigations.

The total amount can still depend on whether additional investigations are required after the initial consultation.
What to Send Before a Medical Appointment
Previous medical documentation can make an initial enquiry more useful and may help determine what type of consultation or examination needs to be considered.
Relevant information can include:
- Previous specialist reports
- Laboratory results
- Diagnostic imaging reports
- Hospital discharge summaries
- Previous gastroscopy or colonoscopy reports
- ECG results
- Echocardiography reports
- Holter monitoring results
- Histopathology or biopsy results
- Current medication
- Relevant information about previous surgery
You do not need to have every document on this list. Include what is relevant to the medical problem you want assessed.
Patients should not stop or alter prescribed medication merely because they are arranging medical care abroad. Any medication changes should follow advice from the clinician responsible for their care.
Planning a Medical Trip to Albania
If you are travelling specifically for a medical consultation or procedure, confirm the appointment and preparation requirements before organising the remainder of the trip.
Confirm the Appointment Before Travelling
Ask whether the specialist wants to review previous reports or diagnostic results before the appointment is confirmed.
Ask About Preparation
Some procedures require preparation in advance. Colonoscopy is one clear example, while other investigations may involve instructions concerning food, medication or appointment timing.
Allow Time for Results
A diagnostic procedure may involve tissue analysis, laboratory testing or another specialist discussion after the examination.
Therefore, patients should not automatically assume that all medical care will be completed within one short appointment.
Keep Copies of Medical Records
International patients should retain copies of reports, diagnostic findings, laboratory results and other relevant documents so they can share the information with their regular doctor after returning home.
Private Healthcare in Tirana
Tirana is currently the main location represented within the New Holidays Albania medical section.
Patients can arrange private specialist appointments while staying in the capital or travel specifically after identifying a medical provider relevant to their needs.
If you are already staying in Tirana, mention your available dates when submitting an enquiry. Patients travelling specifically for medical care should first confirm the appointment schedule and any preparation requirements.
Convenient location can make a medical visit easier, but the appropriate specialist and clinical service should remain the primary consideration.
How New Holidays Works With Medical Tourism Enquiries
New Holidays is a medical and dental clinic-promotion and patient-enquiry platform. It does not operate the independent medical clinics listed on this website and does not provide medical diagnosis.
When a page represents a specific medical clinic, the provider should be clearly identified. The individual clinic and doctor remain responsible for medical assessment, preparation instructions, diagnosis and treatment decisions.
This Albania medical tourism hub currently includes the verified provider represented on New Holidays. Additional private clinics can be added in the future when their identity, location, doctors and relevant medical services can be clearly documented.
We do not add fictional clinics, unnamed hospitals or generic “international health centres” simply to make the page longer.
Medical information on New Holidays is intended to help patients research providers and submit treatment enquiries. It does not replace individual medical advice from a qualified clinician who has assessed the patient.
Why This Guide Does Not Rank Doctors From Best to Worst
Different medical specialists treat different conditions, so a general ranking of the “best doctors in Albania” would not provide meaningful guidance for every patient.
A gastroenterologist, cardiologist and another type of specialist cannot be compared using one universal ranking because they address different clinical problems.
Instead, this page focuses on provider identity, medical specialty, available diagnostic services and information that can help patients decide which detailed clinic profile is relevant to their needs.
