The Farouk Almoayyed Center for Enterprise Development (FACED) has announced plans to launch its clinics and medical services centre in Bahrain during the first quarter.

The centre, which is located at Salmaniya Area, aims to provide specialised clinics equipped with the latest medical equipments and serves more than 54 doctors.

This unique initiative not only provides support for young doctors, but also offers benefits to Bahrainis and citizens.

It will coordinate with the doctors at the center to offer their services at affordable prices, considering that clinics’ rental prices are hugely discounted.

Commenting on the launch, Farouk Almoayyed, a leading businessman and the chairman of the centre, said: "This centre completes our previous initiative which is aimed at supporting SMEs and troubled businesses by providing them with logistical support as well as counseling."

"We are very proud to continue supporting SMEs through entering a new sector. The medical sector is very important part of our economy and we are happy to continue supporting it by creating opportunities for a large number of doctors and consultants who work in the public sector to start their own private businesses," he stated.

"The center will act as an incubator for their businesses for a period that lasts up to a maximum period of two years. Doctors will benefit from low cost and fully equipped clinics that can help them to start up their own clinics or hospitals in the future," stated Almoayyed.

"We are very keen to support the health sector as well as the citizens by creating professional health care services at reduced prices," he noted.

Bahrain SMEs Development Society headed by Ahmed Subah AlSaloom AlSaloom said the center provides 27 fully equipped clinics and can serve up to 54 doctors.

Also there is a plan to open the center as 24 hour clinic in the future, he stated.

"Following their success in managing Faced, we are very happy to hand over the management of the centre to Bahrain SMEs Development Society headed by AlSaloom, while the medical supervision will be entrusted to Dr Fadheela Mohammed Haider, head of clinics and medical centers development committee at the society.

AlSaloom said: "We will do our best to operate the center successfully and serve young doctors. One of the main challenges that faces new clinic centres is the availability of car parks, and this center offer sufficient park spaces according to the requirements of Ministry of Works, Municipalities Affairs and Urban Planning."-TradeArabia News Service
