ABC Health Foundation

ABC Health Foundation in Albania has been a beacon of hope for over 30 years, practicing and teaching excellent primary healthcare rooted in biblical values. Whether treating a member of the local Roma community, an expat or a foreign ambassador, the ABC team provides the same high-quality, compassionate care to every patient—regardless of status, age or background.

In a region where patient-centered medical practice is scarce, ABC is a not-for-profit clinic that views personalized care for people as ministry. It stands out by:

• Offering whole-person care, going beyond treating illnesses to address physical, emotional and spiritual needs
• Training and mentoring the next generation of doctors, nurses and physical therapists to serve with both excellence and compassion
• Bringing healing and the gospel to those in need through partnership with local churches

Each year, ABC has had the privilege of caring for over 5,000 patients, offering not only medical treatment but also the hope of the gospel. Through its Lymphedema Care Center, a dedicated team of national and expatriate nurses and physical therapists provide essential treatment to women suffering from post-cancer lymphedema—relieving pain, restoring mobility, and sharing Christ’s love in the process.

Each year, people come to faith in Christ through ABC’s ministry. Together, we can make a lasting impact—one patient, one family and one community at a time.

Participate With the Ministry of ABC Health Foundation

By Supporting Financially:

• $150 provides Lymphedema treatment supplies for one person for one month.
• $1,000 replaces a patient bed, used continuously each day to care for cancer patients in ABC's palliative care department (three needed).
• $1,100 to $2,000 supports one medical staff member’s monthly salary.
• $6,000 buys a second lymphedema arm/leg pump.
• $8,000 funds a one-year medical or physical therapy internship for a young health professional.

By Praying:

• Praise God for giving ABC Health Foundation opportunities to influence doctors, nurses and medical/nursing/physical therapy students around Albania through its educational programs and projects. Pray these health professionals will experience transformation, both spiritually and professionally, as ABC staff members model and teach healthcare from a biblical perspective.
• In an industry that views health care as business, ABC stands apart by serving people with great care and love. Pray that more people will find ABC to be a reliable partner in their overall wellbeing, not just a clinic.
• After almost 30 years of ministry in its current building, ABC has grown to the point that it needs a larger facility. Amid rising real estate prices, ask God to direct the ABC executive staff and board of directors, as they seek funding to support this big step of relocating as well as to add more medical services.
