MILAN (ITALPRESS) – On the sidelines of a series of institutional meetings in Baghdad, Kamel Ghribi, President of the GKSD Group and Vice President of the San Donato Group, met with Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi, confirming the strengthening of the collaboration between the Iraqi healthcare system and the model of healthcare excellence represented by the San Donato Group.

During the summit, the $40.5 million annual agreement with the Iraqi Ministry of Health for the management of the Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf Teaching Hospital, located in Najaf, a city in central Iraq with approximately 1.5 million inhabitants and one of the holiest cities in Shia Islam, was officially renewed.

This is one of the most important international healthcare projects developed by the San Donato Group in the Middle East. The hospital today represents a strategic point of reference for the entire country: 492 beds, including 30 dedicated to the private area; 17 operating rooms; 24 intensive care beds; 24 emergency room beds; over 1,500 outpatient visits per day; 160 professionals, including 21 key specialists involved in clinical and organizational management.

“The renewal of this agreement represents a significant achievement not only from a healthcare perspective, but also from a human and institutional perspective,” stated Kamel Ghribi. “Healthcare can and must be a tool for cooperation, stability, and development among peoples. Over the years, we have worked to build quality, training, skills, and trust, making a concrete contribution to strengthening the Iraqi healthcare system.”

Ghribi also expressed appreciation for the leadership of Iraq’s new Prime Minister: “I found in Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi pragmatic, determined, and results-oriented leadership. His entrepreneurial background allows him to quickly understand the country’s strategic priorities and make decisions with great operational effectiveness and vision. This approach is a very important element for Iraq’s future and for strengthening international cooperation.”

Ghribi finally emphasized the strategic value of collaboration with Iraqi institutions: “Iraq is a country of extraordinary historical and human importance, with great growth potential. Continuing to invest in health, education, and healthcare infrastructure means investing in the stability and future of future generations.”

The meeting with newly elected Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi also provided an opportunity to reaffirm the shared desire to continue along a path of international healthcare cooperation based on quality, innovation, and sustainable development.
