Exciting news came out of Bahrain’s Ministry of Health this year, with the health sector winning the Best Arab Government Project award for its “Telemedicine and Treatment” project at the Arab Government Excellence Awards. The innovative project provides high-quality health services from a distance and was developed and expanded during the pandemic. The project was selected from thousands of Arab government institutional participations, highlighting the Ministry’s commitment to improving healthcare services.
In addition to this, the Minister of Health, Dr. Jalila bint Sayed Jawad Hassan, was elected as Chair of Main Committee of the World Health Assembly, a prestigious position that acknowledges Bahrain’s ongoing efforts in implementing programs and initiatives to improve health systems and health security in partnership with the World Health Organization. This is the first time that the Kingdom of Bahrain has occupied this high position, which is essential in the work of the World Health Assembly concerned with managing sessions and approving recommendations of technical and technical topics related to health in countries of the world.
Moreover, Bahrain’s Dr. Maryam Athbi Al-Jalahma, CEO of the National Health Regulatory Authority, received the “Nelson Mandela Award” for promoting health from the World Health Organization. The award is in recognition of her national efforts in promoting maternal and child health, adolescent health, smoking control, chronic diseases, infectious diseases, and primary care.
The Ministry of Health is also partnering with educational institutions and launching initiatives to strengthen the health system and combat addiction. Bahrain will host the “First Bahraini Psychiatry Conference” in October and the “Arab-German Conference and Exhibition for Pharmaceutical Industries and Medical Supplies” in December. These conferences showcase Bahrain’s capabilities in organizing major scientific and medical events and will bring together specialists, consultants, and experts in the field of mental health and pharmaceutical industries.
Through these achievements and initiatives, Bahrain’s Ministry of Health is continuously working to improve the healthcare system and enhance health security in partnership with international organizations.
