Work on the Hussain Ali Yateem Health Centre in Madinat Salman will start shortly, after Ahmed Omer Trading & Contracting won the Ministry of Works tender for the BD8.2 million scheme.

The three-storey facility will stand on a 24,811-square-metre plot with 12,303 square metres of built space.

Plans cover reception and records, consultations and medical services, 15 doctors’ clinics, a pharmacy, radiology, a laboratory, emergency, an oral and dental health unit with 10 clinics, and motherand-child services, plus administration and supporting buildings.

It is designed to serve about 31,000 residents.

The foundation stone was laid in December 2023 in the presence of Supreme Council of Health chairman Lt-Gen Dr Shaikh Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Khalifa.

Cooperation

MP Jalal Kadhem said cooperation between the legislative and executive branches had translated the new budget into projects on the ground in Madinat Salman and across the Northern Governorate.

He added that the budget carries the largest housing allocation in Bahrain’s history.

In the coming months, 1,362 apartments are due to be handed over in Madinat Salman, with a further 131 units delivered through the private sector and another scheme run by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning.
