Kosovo’s poor health and medical facilities lead many local citizens to seek health care services
in neighboring countries, even for routine check-ups. The growing demand for quality health
care, and the lack of government resources to meet these needs, leaves many opportunities for
U.S. companies to provide a variety of health-related services, including basic and specialized
treatments, hospitals, clinics, emergency medical treatment facilities, and high quality medicines
and pharmaceutical products.
