Moscow, April 8, 2019 – The Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) and Ronesans Holding have reached an agreement to implement a joint project on building medical units in Russia’s regions. The corresponding agreement was signed today during the official visit of Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan to Russia.

The project will see the creation of a network of high-tech multidisciplinary medical units, utilising a single database and a common technological platform that will be connected to medical centres at leading Russian and foreign universities. This approach incorporates world class experience and the most advanced practices, as well as Ronesans Holding’s unique expertise in infrastructure construction and project implementation and support.

Dr. Erman Ilıcak, President of Rönesans Holding, said:
“We have cooperated with RDIF in various ways since 2017. All collaboration between RDIF and Rönesans Holding has strategic importance for Russia and Turkey as well. Today we take the first steps towards the foundation of 15  medical units at Russian universities across different regions of Russia. Through this project, we shall bring Rönesans’s rich experience in the Turkish healthcare sector, medical construction and healthcare facility management over to Russia. As a company who has made real estate investments around 1.3 billion US dollars in Russia, with a contracting track record in 28 countries, which capitalizes on advanced technologies and a rich know-how in the field of healthcare, we believe that we will make a major contribution to streamlining this project according to the requirements of Russia.”
