Spitali Salus

What Spitali Salus does

Spitali Salus (legal entity: Salus Tirana sh.a) is a privately held Italian-Albanian multispecialty hospital headquartered at Rruga 'Vidhe Gjata' 16, Mëzez-Kashar, Tirana, Albania, with a satellite clinical biochemistry laboratory on Qemal Stafa Street in central Tirana. The hospital was co-founded by Dr. Olti Peçini in partnership with Casa di Cura Salus from Trieste, Italy, with the stated mission of bringing Italian clinical standards to Albania. Services are delivered by Italian doctors and Albanian doctors trained in Italy and other European countries across more than 30 medical departments, spanning cardiology, oncology, orthopedics, thoracic surgery, general surgery, obstetrics-gynecology, gastroenterology, neurosurgery, neurology, urology, dermatology, dentistry, and others. The hospital operates an outpatient ambulatory service, inpatient hospitalization, and surgical theaters, supported by diagnostic imaging, laboratory services, and interventional radiology, including mini-invasive mediastinal diagnostics (TBNA and EBUS-TBNA).

The product portfolio is organized as a platform-plus-modules architecture. The core platform is the main hospital, with four operating sub-modules: BeautySalus (aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, including rhinoplasty, breast, abdominoplasty, liposculpture, and hair transplantation); the AeMC — first and only Aviation Medical Center in Albania — providing EASA PART-MED compliant Class 1, 2, LAPL, cabin crew, and air traffic controller certifications under the Albanian Civil Aviation Authority; TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) — a non-invasive 30-session treatment protocol for psychiatric and neurological disorders; and InSalus, a loyalty health card program for prevention and personalized care. Additional modules include preventive check-up packages (cardiology, ophthalmology, body scan, gynecological, and general) priced at unit rates (e.g., €60 for the cardiology check-up).

Spitali Salus operates as a professional-services, fee-per-visit revenue model with no disclosed public pricing for most procedures. Go-to-market combines a direct-to-consumer motion (trilingual Albanian/English/Italian website, WhatsApp, phone, walk-in, 24-hour service) with an enterprise/field-sales motion targeting medical tourists from Italy, aviation personnel, and corporate/insurance channels. The patient base is the general Albanian population seeking international-standard care, supplemented by international patients, aviation personnel, and aesthetic-surgery candidates. The company is privately held by founding partners, with no external fundraising, M&A activity, or institutional investors disclosed.
