US Firm Proposes Major Healthcare Investment in Baghdad
By John Lee.
American Global Medical Services (AGMS) is set to expand its footprint in Iraq, following a meeting between CEO Dr. Aizen J. Marrogi and Prime Minister Mohammed S. Al-Sudani on Monday.
The company has proposed establishing a comprehensive medical city in Baghdad, which would include a 200-bed cancer hospital, a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility, a nursing college, and a training academy. The project, fully funded by AGMS, is expected to create more than 1,500 local jobs and will deploy over 200 medical and administrative professionals.
Prime Minister Al-Sudani directed that 60 dunams of land in Al-Rasheed Camp be officially allocated for the project, reaffirming the government's commitment to advancing U.S.-Iraq cooperation under the Strategic Framework Agreement-particularly in the healthcare sector.
