GSD Healthcare

GKSD, a subsidiary of the San Donato Group, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Kenya’s Ministry of Health for the construction of 15 new hospitals across 15 different counties, representing an investment of approximately $419 million.

The MoU was signed by Kenya’s Cabinet Secretary for Health, Aden Duale, and Kamel Ghribi, Chairman of GSD Healthcare, President of the GKSD Group, and Vice President of Gruppo San Donato. The signing ceremony took place at State House in Nairobi in the presence of the President of the Republic of Kenya, William Ruto.

The program provides for the construction of 13 “local” level 5 hospitals and two national referral facilities classified as Level 6, offering highly specialized and teaching functions. The initiative is part of Kenya’s efforts to achieve universal health coverage, which requires expanding hospital capacity and strengthening access to specialized healthcare services.

GKSD will contribute its expertise in healthcare engineering, as well as in the design and construction of complex healthcare infrastructures. The company will support the development of facilities designed according to principles of efficiency, innovation, and sustainability. The initiative is also part of the Mattei Plan.

“This agreement represents a significant step in GKSD’s international growth and confirms the Group’s ability to put its technical, design, and healthcare expertise at the service of large-scale infrastructure programs,” said Ghribi.
Under the MoU, GKSD and the Kenyan government will collaborate on structuring the financing of the program and subsequently implementing the planned projects.

Kamel Ghribi, Chairman of GSD Healthcare, President of the GKSD Group, and Vice President of Gruppo San Donato, along with a delegation of consultants and experts, met with the President of the Iraqi National Investment Commission, Engineer Adel al-Yasiri, in Baghdad. The discussions focused on prospects for strengthening collaboration between Italy and Iraq and ways to attract Italian investors in various sectors, in line with the country’s development needs and priorities. Ghribi reiterated the GKSD Group’s commitment to continuing investments in Iraq, particularly in the healthcare sector. A priority is the Italian Hospital (HHH) project, under construction on the site of a former Turkish restaurant. The initiative aims to transfer and utilize Italian administrative, engineering, and medical expertise, develop rare specialties, and offer advanced healthcare services for complex cases. The importance of continuing the training and qualification of Iraqi medical, technical, and administrative staff employed at the facility was also emphasized, as well as strengthening partnerships with several medical universities in Baghdad, to build sustainable local capacity and improve the quality of healthcare services. The meeting confirms the GKSD Group’s commitment to maintaining and expanding its investment presence in Iraq, contributing to the country’s economic development in strategic sectors.

In less than two months, the city of Basra has made an exceptional impact in open-heart surgery.
At Al-Sayyab University Hospital, under the management of GSD-GKSD, chaired by Kamel Ghribi, 33 highly specialized and complex procedures have been successfully performed.
This represents a major step toward localizing healthcare services within the country, generating savings of up to $50,000 per procedure.
This achievement has received strong institutional support. The Governor of Basra, Asaad Al-Eidani, visited the hospital to check on the well-being of the six children whose surgeries were successfully completed.
He was accompanied by Hanan Al-Fatlawi, Bahaa Al-Araji, and the Director General of the Basra Health Department.
To ensure the long-term sustainability of the service, Prof. Tammam Youssef is leading an intensive training program for five Iraqi surgeons and medical residents. The goal is to reach 200 pediatric surgeries and 120 adult surgeries by the end of 2026, transforming Al-Sayyab Hospital into a globally recognized referral center and laying the foundation for a stronger medical future.

GKSD Group has signed a strategic partnership with MIDAR for Urban Development, one of Egypt’s leading development companies, backed by Banque Misr, the National Investment Bank, The Arab Contractors, National Bank of Egypt, and Misr Capital.

The agreement provides for the establishment of an integrated system across healthcare, education, and scientific research, beginning with the construction of a fully integrated medical center in New Cairo, with investments ranging from €500 million to €600 million.

The memorandum of understanding was signed at MIDAR’s headquarters in Cairo, in the presence of Kamel Ghribi, Chairman of GSD Healthcare, President of the GKSD Group, and Vice President of the San Donato Group, and MIDAR CEO Ayman El Qoussy.

For his part, Kamel Ghribi told the Egyptian channel Extra News that this partnership represents a new benchmark for excellence by combining advanced medicine, academic excellence, and Italian expertise, alongside MIDAR’s advanced infrastructure plans.
He added that the initiative aims to strengthen healthcare infrastructure and support investments in healthcare, education, and scientific research, emphasizing Egypt’s importance as a regional hub for medical services.
