By: Petronor “This is an exciting step and we are very pleased to welcome RMSI to Iraq Energy City,” said Peter Day, CEO of Petronor. “With IEC aiming to be the premier working and living environment for companies in the Basra region, the selection of the medical provider was a very important one. We were in need of a company like RMSI, one with a strong track record in Iraq and a focus on service that would give our clients the comfort in knowing their medical needs would be professionally and expertly taken care of. We are pleased to be bringing this forward to our current and future clients.” Operating on a members-only subscription basis, the service will start from a temporary clinic and will expand into a full clinic providing a wide range of medical services to the region. RMSI plans to use IEC as its central medical hub, and to support their network of remote clinics at client sites. “The establishment of the RMSI Regional Medical Centre ‘RMC’ is an extremely exciting development for the southern Oil and Gas companies, who until now have not been able to answer the key question, “what happens to our workers higher level medical needs when the military pull out”, said Robert Lamb, President and CEO of RMSI. “We have taken a proactive step, investing in what will be the only western level medical and emergency stabilization centre in the South of Iraq, providing a much needed security blanket to thousands of expat and Iraqi workers, including ICU beds, an ambulance service, high level diagnostics and occupational health services. After considering our options, it was clear that Iraq Energy City is the only viable option where the security and life support of our staff and patients can be assured”. Clients at IEC will be treated for everything from the simplest cuts and bruises, through to full emergency stabilization and possible evacuation. The evacuation service will depend on the clients existing arrangements and insurance, and RMSI along with International SOS will be able to advise new and existing clients on streamlining their medical emergency response plans from IEC. “RMSI is a great addition to IEC and the Basra region,” said Hans Hoiskar, General Manager of Petronor Iraq. “There is an Oil Rush underway and we are excited to welcome companies such as RMSI who can benefit from the IEC’s ability to lower the barriers to entry, cost and security. Iraq Energy City is proving the ideal answer to those concerns.” About Iraq Energy City The Iraq Energy City base is located on 300,000 sq meters of land leased by Petronor from the South Oil Company (SOC), and is near both Gate 2 of the SOC’s Bergessia Base and the Basra airport.
