The second edition of the Bahrain International Women’s Health Conference and Exhibition is set to commence on Thursday, April 24, 2025, at the Radisson Blu Diplomat Hotel in Manama.
Organized by BDA for Conference and Exhibition, the event will feature a wide-ranging programme of scientific sessions and workshops, accompanied by a special public panel titled “Women’s Forum.”
This open-access panel, taking place in the main conference hall, will bring together a distinguished group of speakers to engage in an empowering dialogue. Participants include Coach Mariam Ishaq, Dr. Mariam Baqi, Coach Abeer Al-Matooq, and moderator Mrs. Mariam Faqihi.

The discussion will focus on themes central to women’s empowerment—exploring inner strength, personal inspiration, and self-confidence, while addressing the interplay between inner and outer beauty. The session will also provide motivational insights and examine the key pillars of women’s well-being, particularly in relation to achieving a healthy work-life balance.

The conference will present a comprehensive scientific programme encompassing the latest advancements and critical topics in women’s health. Accredited with 16 Continuing Medical Education (CME) hours by the National Health Regulatory Authority (NHRA), the event underscores a commitment to excellence in clinical education and professional development. It is expected to attract a wide spectrum of participants, including physicians, medical specialists, and healthcare professionals from Bahrain and internationally, with confirmed representation from Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and Ukraine.

Building on the success of its first edition, the 2025 conference is positioned as a key platform for advancing women’s health on both a regional and international scale. Last year’s event drew notable attention for its robust scientific content and high-caliber participation, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange across borders. This year’s enhanced programme is a direct response to the positive feedback received, with organizers committed to delivering an even more impactful and inclusive experience.
