Work is progressing as per schedule on the new Bahrain Dialysis Centre coming up at Hunainiya region in the Southern Governorate of the kingdom with nearly 63 per cent project already completed.

The BD6.08 million ($16 million) project is being funded by the Saudi Development Fund as part of the Gulf Development Programme, said a statement for the Ministry of Works, Municipalities Affairs & Urban Planning.
 
The project is being implemented by Aradus Contracting & Maintenance and is due for completion by mid-June next year, it stated.

In addition to this, there are provisions for an elevator close to all entrances and rest rooms that accommodate the needs of the disabled, he stated.
