The Ministry of Health's Baghdad headquarters needed a single coherent network platform across all eleven floors — one able to carry daily administrative traffic, reconnect departments left behind by years of piecemeal wiring, and support a camera system covering the entire building. The Journey was appointed second contractor on the project and took responsibility for the full technical cycle: site survey and design, the implementation plan, procurement of all active and passive equipment, and on-site execution. The building was handed over three months after work began.

The work covered both the passive and active layers of the building. The Journey installed a structured copper cabling system terminating in keystone outlets in every room, and ran a fiber optic backbone vertically between all eleven floors, tying each floor distribution point back to the main equipment room. Cisco switches were deployed at the core and at every floor distribution point. A separate CCTV network was built alongside it, with cabling, power and camera positions planned so that surveillance traffic stays isolated from the administrative network. The Journey handled procurement of the full bill of materials — active equipment, passive components, racks, patch panels and cameras — and carried out installation, termination, labelling and testing on site.
