The American Intercontinental Healthcare Group (AIHG), located in San Antonio, Texas, provides international clients with management consulting services, and assists third-party owners to develop American-standard hospital facilities, outpatient surgical centers, diagnostic centers and other healthcare businesses. AIHG wanted to increase its global sales and contacted the U.S. Commercial Service (CS) San Antonio office for assistance.
AIHG traveled to Ukraine and spent four days with CS healthcare specialists based in Kiev. CS Ukraine shared market knowledge and coordinated meetings for AIHG with the American Chamber of Commerce and Ukrainian Business Council. CS Ukraine also arranged for AIHG to attend a meeting with U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch and OPIC President and CEO Ray Washburne, who personally delivered AIHG’s project brief to Dr. Ulana Suprun, Ukraine’s Minister of the Health. Dr. Suprun expressed her interest in changing the current healthcare model to a more Westernized patient care delivery.
According to AIHG Business Development Director Ralph Foster, the firm increased its export footprint into Ukraine due to assistance provided by the CS.
AIHG signed a 10-year contract valued at $8.25 million that includes AIHG providing services during the design, preoperational planning and long-term management of the American Hospital Kiev. Additionally, the hospital will be equipped with the latest U.S. technology, including medical imaging equipment valued at over $7 million, and an integrated operating theater which will the first of its kind in Eastern Europe.
 Mr. Foster stated, “I sincerely appreciate all of the time and effort invested by the U.S. Commercial Service (CS) in both San Antonio and Kiev on behalf of AIHG and the Ukrainian investors and stakeholders we represent in the American Hospital Kiev (AHK). Our company is eternally grateful for the endless support received as we grow our international business and thankful to have such amazing partners in the Commercial Service. The hard work, determination, and initiative exhibited by CS Specialists to understand the unique needs of its customers, link them to growth opportunities, and help them to compete successfully in the global market is an invaluable resource to the US business community and for that we are greatly appreciative.”
