HISTORICAL RECORD/ Albanians spent 350 million euros out of pocket for health in 2021, businesses earned 85 million euros

Written by SOT.COM.AL 22 Shkurt 2023

The year 2021 marked a record in citizens' spending on their health, largely influenced by the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
INSTAT data for the indicator "Health and social work activities" reveal that the income of this category in 2021 reached almost 41 billion ALL, or 350 million euros, marking a historical record.
Compared to the 2018-2019 average, when the country was in a period of normal health, income has almost doubled.
This significant increase in income has come despite the fact that the number of employees employed in this sector has remained almost unchanged at around 12,000 people and total investments have expanded slightly by 6.7%. The number of enterprises was 3,438, almost unchanged from the previous year.
Even the profits of businesses that operate in the health activity have expanded significantly, reaching 10 billion ALL, or 85 million euros in 2021, from 31 million euros in 2019.
The sector's rate of return also jumped to 24%, from the 11% average in 2018-2019, ranking as the second highest-returning activity in the country, after real estate. https://www.monitor.al/zbuloni-sektoret-ku-sot-fitohet-me-shume-ku-ia-vlen-te-hapesh-nje-biznes/
Health activity has seen a strong growth in the last decade, exploiting the low level of public sector services.
Compared to 2011, when there were only 31 million euros, the income of this activity has increased 11-fold.
According to INSTAT, "Health and social work activities" include hospitals, clinics, health care centers for the elderly, dental clinics, social care, etc.
Why the health business flourished
Unlike the economy, which recovered rapidly in 2021, the health situation continued to be difficult, especially in the first part of the year, as the government gave up austerity measures, after the effects they had on the economic decline.
Në pjesën e parë të vitit 2021, vala e pandemisë arriti kulmin e saj, e reflektuar kjo dhe me numrin e lartë të vdekjeve. Sipas INSTAT, në tremujorin e parë 2021, humbjet e jetës arritën në rekordin e 10.2 mijë personave, me rritje 61% në krahasim me mesataren e së njëjtës periudhë të 2016-2019. Edhe në tremujorin e dytë, vdekjet u rritën me 21% në krahasim me mesataren 2016-2019.
Për gjithë vitin 2021, fatalitetet arritën një nivel rekord në historinë e Shqipërisë, me 30.6 mijë persona, me rritje 40% në raport me mesataren e 2016-2019.
Si rrjedhojë e tejmbushjes së spitaleve publike, por edhe besimit të ulët në sistemin publik të shërbimit shëndetësor, shumë individë u kuruan në spitale private, që shënuan një rritje të fortë të të ardhurave në vitin 2021.
“Spitali Amerikan” (American Hospital) është më i madhi në vend. Në vitin 2021 qarkulloi 7.5 miliardë lekë, me rritje 21% me bazë vjetore. “International Hospital” (ish-Hygeia), po pjesë e grupit të Spitalit Amerikan, raportoi 3.2 miliardë lekë, me rritje vjetore 18%.
Të dhënat zyrtare të bilanceve të pesë spitaleve private, “American Hospital”, “International Hospital” (ish-Hygeia), “Salus”, “German Hospital International”, “Spitali Europian”, të përpunuara nga “Monitor”, tregojnë se të ardhurat e kombinuara të tyre ishin rreth 12.3 miliardë lekë (103 milionë euro), duke arritur nivelin më të lartë rekord që kur spitalet e para filluan të hyjnë në tregun shqiptar më shumë se një dekadë më parë.
Në vitin 2020, zgjerimi i aktivitetit të laboratorëve mjekësorë ishte i fortë, pas shpenzimeve të larta për kryerjen e tamponëve, apo të analizave të mëpasshme për të parë ecurinë e sëmundjes. Në vitin 2021, rritja ishte edhe më e lartë, e ndikuar jo vetëm nga kryerja e analizave për identifikimin e sëmundjes e më pas kurimin e saj, por dhe kushtit të pothuajse gjithë shteteve që nuk lejonin hyrjen në kufijtë e tyre të personave që nuk kishin kryer tampon, apo test të shpejtë. Kjo i ndihmoi laboratorët që të ishin biznesi më i suksesshëm dhe me rritjen më të fortë në vitin 2021. Sipas INSTAT, në vitin 2021 u regjistruan 4.2 milionë dalje të shtetasve shqiptarë, një pjesë e madhe e të cilëve në vendet e BE-së.
“Intermedica Center” dyfishoi të ardhurat në gati 2 miliardë lekë.
"Genius lab", in its third full year of activity, quadrupled its revenue, to 2 billion ALL, entering the "Monitor 200" list for the first time, according to revenue. The profit rate was almost 70%.
In total, the annual turnover of the main laboratories increased fivefold to about 4.6 billion ALL, or 3 billion ALL (almost 25 million euros) more than the previous year/ MONITOR
