The eighth Bahrain Diabetes and Endocrinology Conference (BDER 2026) ended yesterday, drawing wide participation from leading physicians and specialists from Bahrain and abroad.
Organised jointly by the Bahrain Diabetes Society and Royal Bahrain Hospital, the conference reviewed the latest advances in diabetes and endocrinology and promoting evidence-based clinical practice.
Conference President and Senior Consultant in Endocrinology at Royal Bahrain Hospital Dr Wiam Hussein, said the event reflected Bahrain’s national commitment to tackling diabetes through prevention, early detection and advanced treatment.
“Diabetes is no longer a challenge for the healthcare sector alone, but a national responsibility that requires co-ordination between government, the private sector and civil society,” she said, stressing the importance of healthy lifestyles, early intervention and targeted programmes for high-risk groups.
Dr Hussein noted that the scientific programme covered precision medicine in diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, modern glucose-monitoring technologies, insulin pumps, and the latest medications that offer cardiovascular and renal protection.
Chief Medical Officer at Royal Bahrain Hospital, Dr Stephen Angamuthu, said hosting the conference underlined the hospital’s commitment to continuous medical education and knowledge exchange, adding that Bahrain has emerged as a regional leader in adopting advanced diabetes care technologies.
The conference objective was to strengthen preventive healthcare and improve outcomes for patients with diabetes and endocrine disorders.
