Bahrain plans to strengthen its women’s healthcare services by establishing a dedicated breast cancer screening unit in public hospitals to improve early detection and diagnosis.
According to the Tender Board, Yusuf Mahmood Hussain Company will carry out the project, valued at around BD494,000.
The new facility will focus on providing specialised and faster screening services for breast cancer, one of the most common cancers affecting women in the kingdom.
Health authorities state that early detection remains critical, significantly increasing the chances of successful treatment and recovery when the disease is identified in its initial stages.
The project includes the design, construction and full operation of the unit, along with all associated civil works.
It also covers the supply and installation of medical equipment, as well as the integration of digital systems linked to diagnostic services.
Officials said the development will be delivered on a turnkey basis, ensuring the unit is fully operational upon completion with all required clinical and support services in place.
Currently, breast cancer screening in Bahrain is primarily conducted through primary healthcare centres, with referrals made to specialised facilities when necessary.
The new unit is expected to streamline this process by offering a more integrated diagnostic pathway within public hospitals.
