This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the pandemic's effects in Albania, examining the multifaceted challenges faced by the country. It begins with an in-depth assessment of the healthcare sector, addressing the early strain on medical resources, difficulties in executing rapid immunization campaigns, and the need to adapt healthcare infrastructure to unprecedented demands. The economic analysis explores shifts in employment patterns, the collapse of key sectors such as tourism and small businesses, and government interventions, including fiscal stimulus measures aimed at alleviating financial hardship. The paper also considers the social repercussions of the pandemic, including the rise of community-driven resilience initiatives, the mental health toll of extended lockdowns, and the acceleration of digital transformation in education and public services. Using Albania as a case study, this research emphasizes the importance of regional cooperation in enhancing resilience to external crises, provides practical recommendations for future crisis preparedness, and offers broader insights relevant to the Western Balkans.</span></div> 2025-01-19T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2025
