Bahrain - A new state-of-the-art health centre will be constructed in Galali.

The project, worth BD5.2 million, was announced by BBK, a leader in retail and corporate banking in Bahrain, during an official signing ceremony held at the bank’s headquarters in Manama.

Contracts were signed with Mohammed Jalal Contracting, appointed to execute the construction work, and Adel Ahmadi Associates, assigned to supervise the project.

The new centre will span a total area of 9,713 square metres and feature a modern two-storey design. The ground floor will house 14 consultation clinics, 14 nurse examination rooms and an emergency department with 12 beds. The first floor will include a maternal and childcare unit, eight dental clinics and dedicated administrative offices. 

Once completed, the centre is expected to significantly enhance healthcare access and outcomes for the local community.

The signing ceremony was attended by BBK group chief executive Yaser Alsharifi, members of the executive management team, Primary Healthcare Centres board of trustees chairman Abdulwahab Abdulwahab and chief executive Dr Ejlaal Al Alawi, and other senior officials from the health sector.
