Ministry Backs Growth of Bahrain's Veterinary Sector

Hospital's services align with international veterinary best practices.

Ministry of Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting investment in the veterinary sector, highlighting the importance of public-private partnerships in advancing animal healthcare and protecting the Kingdom's animal wealth.

The message came during a visit by Eng. Asim Abdullatif Abdullah, Undersecretary for Agriculture and Animal Wealth Affairs, to Bari Veterinary Hospital, where he was accompanied by ministry officials and welcomed by Dr. Bari Hamed and co-founder Anood Khalid Al Sharif.

During the visit, the undersecretary praised the hospital as an example of the private sector's growing contribution to veterinary medicine, noting that such investments help enhance public health, improve veterinary services, and create opportunities to train and develop Bahraini professionals. He stressed that collaboration between the public and private sectors remains essential to achieving Bahrain's sustainable development goals.

Eng. Asim also commended the hospital's commitment to delivering veterinary care in accordance with international best practices, saying its specialised services play an important role in promoting animal welfare while supporting wider public health efforts.

The delegation toured the hospital's specialised clinics, examination rooms, surgical theatres and intensive care unit, and reviewed its advanced diagnostic and treatment technologies. Officials were also briefed on the hospital's operations, which are led by Bahraini professionals alongside a team of veterinarians.
