Disorders of the nervous system can lead to a variety of functional disturbances that may significantly reduce the patient’s quality of life and even become life-threatening.

This department includes a team of neurosurgeons—Greek and Albanian—qualified at prestigious European universities with extensive experience in neurosurgical procedures. To ensure the most accurate diagnosis and optimal solution for every neurosurgical case, the Neurology and Neurosurgery Department closely collaborates with the Radiology Department, Laboratory, ICU, and anesthesiologists.
