EFFORTS are in full swing to get Busaiteen and Al Sayah in Muharraq recognised as “Healthy City” by the World Health Organisation (WHO) this year.
This follows Manama being designated as a Healthy City in 2021 as the first capital city across the Middle East to receive such an honour, while Umm Al Hassam was named as Bahrain’s first “Healthy City” in 2018 as part of WHO’s Healthy Cities Programme (HCP) launched in 1986 .
