Albania’s Health and Social Welfare Minister, Evis Sala, has resigned after serving less than a year in office. Her departure has triggered a political controversy, with the opposition suggesting the resignation stems from disagreements over planned health sector restructuring. Sala, however, stated her decision followed acceptance of “important international commitments” focusing on oncology, AI, and innovation. She expressed gratitude towards Prime Minister Edi Rama for his support during her time in cabinet. The resignation raises questions about the future of health policy in Albania and the government’s restructuring plans. Further details regarding the nature of the alleged dispute and Sala’s new international role remain to be seen. The Prime Minister's office has yet to comment on the specific reasons behind the resignation.
