In 1994 ABC was established to provide quality medical service to the people of Albania and to meet the medical needs of the mission community.
The initial goals were:
- To establish a model "Western" health center in Tirana
- To provide quality medical care to all, regardless of nationality or economic condition through the Health Center
- To offer 24-hour emergency medical assistance
- To provide a platform for Albanian doctors to gain practical experience in Family Medicine
- To provide scholarships for Albanian medical professionals to further their training in Family Medicine/General Practice
Now, more than 15 years later, ABC Health Foundation continues to promotes quality health care in Albania by:
- Providing subsidized, quality medical care to the Albanian population through "Family Health Centers" and mobile health centers.
- Pioneering clinical training in Primary care and Family Medicine for Albanian doctors, students, and other healthcare personnel;
- Promoting Community Health Education and Community Medicine for both healthcare professionals and the general public;
- Offering scholarships for healthcare training within Albania and abroad;
The ABC Health Foundation is a humanitarian, non-profit foundation under Albanian law Number 7695.
