While many of the news reports out of Libya recently have focused on security concerns, there are also positive developments to highlight. One example is the recent signing of a LD 2 billion contract between the Ministry of Health and the British company International Hospitals Group (IHG) for IHG to design, build and operate nine hospitals across Libya.This contract is notable not only for the quality healthcare these hospitals would provide to previously undeserved areas, but also as a signal that foreign investors are willing to stay involved in Libya, and that the current government is willing to sign long term contracts. According to the Libya Herald, this contract is "one of the biggest single contracts signed by Libya post Revolution, and certainly by the Ministry of Health."
