A new radiology department featuring state-of-the-art medical equipment has opened in Awali Hospital.
The first-of-its-kind Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the region is now available, in addition to the 128 Computed Tomography (CT) imaging device.
MRI is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes inside the body.
The hospital’s board of directors and Bapco Energies executive management were present at the inauguration.
Guests were taken on a tour of the new department led by Awali Hospital’s chief medical officer Tariq Hameed.
Bapco Refining’s chief executive Dr Abdulrahman Jawahery praised the use of high-tech medical equipment at the department and highlighted the importance of having access to state-of-the-art medical equipment to provide patients with precise diagnosis.
Last year, Dr Jawahery inaugurated the hospital’s new expansion, which included several new treatment units including a Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy unit, managed by the first Bahraini specialist, serving patients with diving injuries, carbon monoxide poisoning and cancer.
