The Ministry of Health and Social Protection (Albanian: Ministria e Shëndetësisë dhe Mbrojtjes Sociale) is a department of the Albanian Government, charged with the responsibility to oversee the running of Albania's healthcare system, including supporting universal and affordable access to medical, pharmaceutical and hospital services, while helping people to stay healthy through health promotion.[1]
In 1914 Prince William of Wied built a new structure, entrusting the then Minister of Health Mihal Turtulli. In 1920 with the government of the Lushnja Congress, was established the structure of the General Directorate of Health (DPSH), which functioned as such until 1944.[2]
The Ministry of Health was founded in 1944 when DPSH became a Ministry. The Ministry had its structure with 21 employees and 175 Albanian and foreign doctors practicing the activity throughout the country.[3]
Since the establishment of the institution, the Ministry of Health has been reorganized by joining other departments or merging with other ministries, thus resulting in its name changing several times. This list reflects the changes made in years in pluralist history since 1992 as an institution:
Ministry of Health and Environment (Albanian: Ministria e Shëndetësisë dhe Mjedisit) from 1992 to 1998
Ministry of Health (Albanian: Ministria e Shëndetësisë) from 1998 to 2017
Ministry of Health and Social Protection (Albanian: Ministria e Shëndetësisë dhe Mbrojtjes Sociale) from 2017 - current[4]
