Summary: The quality of medical care in Bahrain is generally considered to be good, with many hospitals and clinics offering a wide range of services. However, the quality of care may not be as high as in the United States. Emergency services in Bahrain are generally reliable and efficient, with ambulances available 24 hours a day. To call for an ambulance, you can dial 999 or 997.
How are healthcare services Bahrain?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Bahrain, they replied:
"In Bahrain, healthcare services are provided by both public and private institutions. The public healthcare system is managed by the Ministry of Health and provides a range of services, including primary care, specialist care, and hospital services. The quality of public healthcare is generally good, with modern facilities and well-trained staff. Foreign residents in Bahrain have access to the public healthcare system, although they may need to pay for some services. Expats in Bahrain can use the public healthcare system by registering with the Ministry of Health and obtaining a health card. This card allows them to access public healthcare services at a reduced cost," commented one expat living in Bahrain.
