bahrainthismonth.com | OCTOBER 2026 HEALTH & WELLNESS 39 In Bahrain, the pink movement has a history stretching back more than two decades. Think Pink: Bahrain Breast Cancer Society was founded by Dr. Julie Sprakel in 2004 and has since grown from a one-off fundraising event into a nationwide awareness campaign supporting breast cancer education and research. Its early contributions included more than BD120,000 towards the National Mammography Drive. Its work later helped fund a digital MRI machine and the development of Bahrain’s National Breast Cancer Guidelines, extending its impact from public awareness to the country’s wider breast cancer response. That longstanding focus on breast health gives Barceló’s Pink October message a clear local context. For the hotel, wellbeing also includes creating an environment where people feel supported. Barceló is encouraging its guests, colleagues and the wider community to use Pink October as an opportunity to start conversations and share reliable health information while reminding those around them about the value of regular checks and early detection. While October brings particular attention to breast cancer awareness, the hotel’s focus on wellbeing continues throughout the year. From opportunities to recharge during a stay to the everyday choices that support a healthier lifestyle, Barceló Hotel & Residences Bahrain aims to make taking care of yourself a natural part of the guest experience. +973 7790 0099 Reserve now [email protected] www.barcelo.com barcelo_bahrain
