Healthcare in Bahrain

Bahraini physicians and nurses form a majority of the country's workforce in the health sector, unlike neighbouring Gulf states.

A Health Information and Knowledge Management Centre is to be established, which will collect, analyse and process health-related data using comprehensive electronic medical records for all beneficiaries.

Bahraini nationals can access voluntary health insurance packages through the Fund which will meet 60% of the costs of private sector hospitals or facilities.

And then, with a proper building built, the Mason Memorial Hospital, was formally inaugurated on 26 January 1903.

The Bahrain Defence Force – Royal Medical Services (BDF-RMS) started in 1968 as a small clinic.
