Bahrain Development Bank (BDB) and the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) held a focused discussion with owners of clinics, hospitals and other healthcare facilities to examine the medical sector’s business needs and challenges.
Held on November 12, 2026, the session was supported by the Society of Owners of Private Healthcare Institutions, which facilitated outreach to healthcare institutions and medical professionals. Participants discussed operational and financial pressures facing medical businesses and shared recommendations on how support could be improved.
The discussion also explored how BDB’s financing solutions and business support services could better match the needs of healthcare enterprises. According to BDB Chief Banking Officer Ali Yusuf Al Aradi, the session gave the bank a clearer view of the sector’s distinct requirements and the areas where its services could provide greater value.
BCCI Director of SMEs and Complaints Isa Abdulla Murad said the meeting allowed medical business owners to raise their concerns directly with BDB. He added that the chamber and the bank plan to continue working together through joint initiatives supporting small and medium-sized enterprises.
The session forms part of efforts by both institutions to maintain direct engagement with Bahrain’s private sector and incorporate business feedback into future support programmes.
