The role of a WHO/Europe country office is to respond to requests from the host country to support policy-making on sustainable health development, taking a holistic health-system approach. This includes providing guidance, building up local relationships to implement technical cooperation, standards and agreements, and ensuring that public health measures are coordinated and in place during crises.

The WHO/Europe Country Office, Albania was set up in 1991. It has 14 international and national staff. The head of the office is Dr Anshu Banerjee.

The priorities for the Country Office are set out in the biennial collaborative agreement between WHO/Europe and the host country. The Office implements the agreement in close collaboration with the relevant national institutions and international partner agencies.
