Pandeli Gliozheni

“Gliozheni” clinic has a very old history of its medical activities. It is created for the first time in Korça, in 1905, when the doctor Pandeli Gliozheni, opened, in his house, a clinic for treatment of internal and ophthalmology diseases. Pandeliu had finished his higher studies in medicine in Athens and specialized in Paris. He was one of the few doctors with a very good reputation in the city Korça of that time.

Koço Gliozheni

This Clinic was then inherited by his doctor son, Koço Gliozheni, who had graduated studies for medicine and specialization for surgery and obstetrics – gynecology in University of Athens. He first worked as a surgeon in the hospital of Korça as well as in the Clinic together with his father and then himself as a general practitioner, but also as a surgeon gynecologist.
In 1949, Koço Gliozheni transferred in Tirana and in 1951 was appointed Director of the University Hospital of Obstetrics – Gynecology Tirana. Besides his activity as a gynecologist in this institution, he reopened in his house the “Gliozheni” clinic. The clinic was one of the most prominent and the most frequented structures during that time in Tirana.

In 1958 he granted the title of professor, together with the 7 first Albanian professors. The clinic was closed in the early 60s as a result of the communist government to prevent the Albanian private medical activity.
