The fields of activity of GAMA Holding’s Public-Private Partnership investments cover both domestic and overseas transportation, hospital and other PPP projects. Within this scope, tender for the Kocaeli Integrated Health Campus, which was introduced by the Health Investment General Directorate of the Ministry of Health as one of the first examples of the Public Private Partnership – PPP System, was entrusted in 2012 to GAMA Holding Türkerler Holding Partnership and the project agreement was signed in 2014. The foundations of Kocaeli Integrated Health Campus were laid on February 2017.

Kocaeli City Hospital, which was undertaken by GAMA Industry with a 50% partnership, started providing services on April 3, 2023. Equipped with modern technology and planned according to high operational standards, Kocaeli City Hospital serves not only Kocaeli but also surrounding provinces in the Marmara Region.
