Arprim Consultants presented a master plan and feasibility study led by Principal Architect Jared Momanyi, which sets out a phased approach to meet rising regional healthcare needs.

The minimally invasive procedure was carried out on a 44-year-old woman by Dr. A.B. Gopalamurugan, Structural Interventional Cardiologist at the hospital.

Unlike conventional open surgery, which requires large incisions in the chest and abdomen, MIE uses several small incisions, high-definition imaging, and specialized laparoscopic instruments.

The investment forms part of the hospital’s broader strategy to expand access to next-generation medical technologies despite Lebanon’s ongoing healthcare and economic challenges.

The opening follows the recent launch of the hospital’s first-of-its-kind emergency CT system in Saudi Arabia, which is designed to speed up diagnosis and treatment for stroke and trauma patients.

The agreement also supports GlobeMed Gulf’s broader strategy of expanding access to high-quality healthcare for its growing base of insured members.

By earning the certification, Royal Bahrain Hospital joins a select group of healthcare institutions across the Arab region recognised for placing patient experience at the centre of healthcare delivery.

The procedure was successfully carried out on a 55-year-old patient with multiple myeloma and signals the launch of the hospital’s new Stem Cell Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Program.

The project aims to strengthen medical education while helping Sri Lanka train more healthcare professionals to meet growing national demand.

Under the new arrangement, Remgro now owns 100% of Mediclinic’s Southern African operations through Mediclinic International, while IHL has taken full ownership of the Swiss-based Hirslanden Group.
