Bahrain to host BDFEX Forum for Health Care Investment

Manama, Jun. 1 (BNA): Under the patronage of the President of the Supreme Council of Health (SCH), Lieutenant General Doctor Sheikh Mohamed Bin Abdulla, Bahrain will hold the first Business Development Forum and Fair in healthcare sector (BDFEX) on October 23 and 24, 2019. The forum marks the progress of health sector in Bahrain, especially in the fields of investment and business development, as well as developing Bahrain's legislations that support health and healthcare sectors. The International Business Consultancy and Development Company (PROACT), and United Gulf Industrial Consortia (UGICON) will organize the event. The BDFEX Forum aims to reinforce the local content of healthcare sector by providing new technologies and investments to achieve excellence and sustainable development in health sector in the Kingdom of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia as well. Moreover, the Forum aims to create new jobs in the industry and enhance its added value by encouraging more investment in both small and medium enterprises and linking entrepreneurs with investors. This event is, furthermore, an opportunity for all business and healthcare professionals to participate in the conference, which will include a select group of speakers, as well as many local and foreign investors looking for investment opportunities in Bahrain. The particularity of this forum lies in its focus on investment in healthcare sectors in both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, especially as Bahrain is witnessing an increasing rise of Saudi investments in establishing and managing various types of healthcare facilities in medicine, dentistry, pharmaceutical factories and others. It is worth mentioning that Bahrain is known for being the first destination for many Saudis who would like to receive various treatment services. However, the same applies to Bahraini citizens who prefer to visit clinics and hospitals in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia in particular. Besides the strategic position of Bahrain in the Arabic Gulf, it should be noted that choosing Bahrain to host this forum shows Bahrain's pioneering position in health sector in the Gulf, and highlights its ideal environment for anyone who wants to invest in a country that is rich in human resources and the best qualified experts in the Middle East.
