An important agreement has been signed between UIM Albania and the Foundation “Our Lady of Good Counsel”, aimed at providing more structured support to Italians residing in Albania — particularly Italian students enrolled at the University and Italian patients hosted at the Foundation’s Hospital, as well as those working there.
The memorandum of understanding — signed by Giuliano Zignani, President of the Ital UIL patronage organization, which includes UIM Albania, and by Fr. Ruggero Valentini, President of the Foundation “Our Lady of Good Counsel” — marks a step forward in protecting and assisting those who choose Albania for education or medical treatment.
DEDICATED (NOT ONLY) TO STUDENTS
Italian students attending the University of the Foundation “Our Lady of Good Counsel” will benefit from a wide range of support services. Thanks to the collaboration with UIM Albania and ITAL-UIL, essential tools will be made available to ease their academic experience and stay in the country.
The agreement includes three key areas of support:
- Patronage services, offering advice on pensions, contributions, and social security and welfare rights
- Fiscal assistance, through the support of CAF UIL for income tax filings and other bureaucratic processes
- Administrative support, helping Italian students and patients integrate and manage administrative procedures
UIM Albania and the Foundation will also work together to promote the initiative through events, educational materials, and institutional channels.
CONCRETE COMMITMENTS TO ENSURE QUALITY AND CONTINUITY
The parties involved have committed to providing high-quality services. UIM Albania will offer qualified personnel, ensuring confidentiality and privacy protection for Italian students and patients. Additionally, through ITAL-UIL, internships can be activated in Italy and abroad, alongside participation in joint European projects.
With this memorandum of understanding, both institutions lay the foundation for a collaboration aimed at strengthening the Italian community in Albania, offering concrete support to those who choose to study or receive health care in the country.
