Residents of Karzakan are set to benefit from expanded healthcare services after the completion of a major upgrade to Kuwait Health Centre, which now includes new dental clinics, a larger laboratory, an upgraded pharmacy and expanded treatment facilities.

The Ministry of Works announced that the project has reached 100 per cent completion, with the refurbishment and expansion aimed at increasing the centre’s capacity and meeting growing demand for primary healthcare services.

Shaikh Meshaal bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, Undersecretary at the Ministry of Works, said the project was undertaken to enhance the centre’s ability to serve the community and improve the overall quality of healthcare services. He made the remarks during an inspection visit alongside Dr Ejlal Al Alawi, Chief Executive of Primary Healthcare Centres.

The project involved renovating part of the existing building and adding two new floors at the front of the centre. The ground floor now houses administrative offices, consultants’ offices and a meeting room, while the first floor has been dedicated to a fully equipped dental clinics section and related services.

The upgrade also included renovation and expansion works covering the laboratory, doctors’ clinics, blood-drawing room, maternity and child-care clinic, pharmacy, treatment section and nursing facilities.

Shaikh Meshaal said the centre had been redesigned in accordance with green building standards, incorporating measures to improve energy efficiency, protect the environment and make better use of natural resources.

He added that the project forms part of broader efforts to upgrade health centres across Bahrain, increase service capacity and enhance the patient experience by providing more comprehensive healthcare facilities for citizens and residents.

Dr Al Alawi said the expansion reflects ongoing efforts by Primary Healthcare Centres to improve healthcare infrastructure and deliver higher-quality services to the community.

She noted that the upgraded facility would provide patients and visitors with a better experience while offering healthcare professionals a more advanced environment in which to deliver care. She also stressed the importance of cooperation between government entities in implementing healthcare projects that meet high standards of quality, efficiency and long-term sustainability.
