As part of a delegation trip with Mayor Stefan Schostok and other representatives from politics, business, and academia, INI Founder and President Prof. Madjid Samii has now signed an agreement for the Samii International Neuroscience Institute Shenzhen. The center for neurosurgery and neuroscience, which will include an operating wing, an outpatient center, and a research department, is expected to have a total of 1,000 beds for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological and neurosurgical conditions. The Chinese company Amer International Group is the partner and investor.

A flagship for Hannover as a medical hub

A general hospital with approximately 600 beds, operated by the Samii International Medical Center Group and the city of Shenzhen, is already under construction and is scheduled to open in the fall of 2016. Prof. Samii, who has been an honorary citizen of Shenzhen for a year, will take on the responsibility of leading the hospitals in order to implement the philosophy he introduced in Hanover there as well.

INI Hannover is currently working on other similar projects in China and Iran. The opening in Tehran is scheduled for spring 2016.

“Professor Samii’s work serves as a showcase for Hannover as a hub for the healthcare industry and medicine around the world,” says Hans Christian Nolte, managing director of Hannover Marketing und Tourismus GmbH (HMTG).

Successful in the Healthcare Industry

With over 65,000 employees and more than 3,000 companies, Hannover’s healthcare industry is the region’s number one growth market. Already, one in seven workers in the region is employed in the healthcare sector—creating ideal conditions for successful business startups and new business locations in the region. With its outstanding scientific expertise, particularly in clinical research, the region plays a leading role on the international stage. Hannover is also a recognized leader in regenerative medicine, biomedical engineering, and healthcare.

Global Recognition for MHH, TiHo, and Others

Many academic and research institutions are recognized worldwide and provide first-class working conditions. The MHH, for example, has made a name for itself as one of the world’s leading medical institutions. Of particular note is its specialization in (pre-)clinical research, infectious disease biology, and transplant medicine. The Hannover University of Veterinary Medicine Foundation (TiHo), with its core disciplines of infectious diseases, neuroscience, animal health, food science, and clinical research, is one of the longest-standing institutions of its kind in Europe. The Hannover Regional Hospital System (KRH), the region’s most high-performing hospital system with eleven hospitals, is one of the most significant municipal hospital systems in Germany. The Auf der Bult Children’s and Adolescent Hospital is also known beyond the region.
