Sıla Group Chairman of the Board Dr. İhsan Şahin stated that the company had been closely monitoring business opportunities in Iran following the lifting of international sanctions.

“We closely followed the business opportunities in Iran after the lifting of the sanctions. As a result, we won the tenders for two hospitals with a combined capacity of 1,750 beds and an estimated investment value of approximately $700 million, as part of a major tender covering 13 hospitals with a total capacity of 13,000 beds to be developed in Iran under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model,” Şahin said.

Speaking to Anadolu Agency about business opportunities in Iran and Sıla Group’s initiatives in the region following the lifting of sanctions, Şahin said that a meeting was held in Tehran on May 14–15, hosted by the Iranian Ministry of Health.

Şahin explained that the meeting focused on the planned healthcare and economic reform processes in Iran. As the first step in these reforms, the contractors for 13 major hospitals to be developed under the Public-Private Partnership model were selected.

He stated that four South Korean companies, including Samsung and Daewoo, were awarded six hospital projects, while Italian companies Herrison and CMC were awarded four projects.

Sıla Group from Türkiye was selected to undertake two hospital projects.

Şahin emphasized that the two projects awarded to Sıla Group would have a combined capacity of 1,750 beds and an estimated investment value of approximately $700 million, marking a significant international healthcare investment by a Turkish company in Iran.
