Karam Karam, a 49-year-old orthopedist from Lebanon, is considering leaving his country for Iraq to start his own medical center, despite the concerns he has over the situation there. Karam has been trying to get in contact with an Iraqi investor in a bid to make this transition and to get acquainted with the Iraqi environment.
Iraqi Council of Ministries voted early this year to provide Lebanon with a certain amount of oil in return of medical services from Lebanese public and private sectors. Lebanese prime minister is expected to visit Baghdad soon to discuss the details.
