It was precisely Gksd that signed a letter of intent with the government of the Republic of Kenya, through the Ministry of Health, for the development of a program to strengthen national healthcare infrastructures, which includes the construction of 15 new hospitals in 15 counties, for a total estimated investment of 419 million dollars. A complicated country, where there are no tender procedures like in Europe, and where therefore direct relationships and expertise gained abroad make the difference. The local government evidently sees Gsd as a private model that also works with the public sector in Italy, thus trying to extend and improve the universal healthcare model.
This has already happened in Iraq, where 2 hospitals are directly managed by the Lombard healthcare group (in Basra and Najaf), plus a hospital under construction in Baghdad; in Libya, where an agreement has just been closed to renovate existing hospitals and build new ones in Benghazi; in Poland, where two hospital groups have been acquired; in Albania, with recently signed agreements; and finally in Saudi Arabia, where there are currently consulting activities in hospitals.

The signing took place at the State House in Nairobi, in the presence of the President of the Republic of Kenya, William Ruto. The letter of intent was signed by Aden Duale, Cabinet Secretary for Health, and by Kamel Ghribi, president of Gksd and vice president of Gsd.
The program – the San Donato Group informs in a note – includes 13 Level 5 hospitals, aimed at strengthening healthcare and specialist capacity at the county level, and 2 Level 6 facilities, with functions of high specialization, teaching, and national referral. The initiative is part of Kenya’s path towards Universal Health Coverage and responds to the need to expand the country’s hospital capacity, strengthening access to specialist services and reducing pressure on existing healthcare facilities.
