Key aspects of the new electronic training platform for doctors enrolled in residency programmes were highlighted yesterday during a top health official’s inspection visit to the Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo Training and Education Centre at Salmaniya Medical Complex (SMC).
Supreme Council for Health (SCH) chairman Lieutenant General Dr Shaikh Mohammed bin Abdulla Al Khalifa reviewed medical training, education and scholarship programmes implemented by government hospitals, as well as developments achieved in the medical training system and programmes for preparing and qualifying health cadres. Government Hospitals chief executive officer Dr Mariam Al Jalahma was present.
Lt Gen Dr Shaikh Mohammed was briefed on training and scholarship programmes at government hospitals, as well as efforts to develop training programmes and build national capabilities, helping provide the health sector with qualified professionals to the highest professional and scientific standards.
He also reviewed the internship programme, including its training and assessment mechanisms, and its role in preparing newly graduated doctors and developing their clinical and professional skills.
Key achievements and developments in residency programmes, including efforts to improve training content and strengthen academic and clinical supervision, were also highlighted.
The new electronic training platform for doctors enrolled in residency programmes provides organised online training content and helps doctors follow training requirements, educational programmes and assessments, improving the efficiency of training and their overall experience.
Lt Gen Dr Shaikh Mohammed stressed the importance of continuing investment in medical education and training as a key part of developing the healthcare system and maintaining specialised national expertise.
He commended efforts to develop medical training and residency programmes and the use of modern digital solutions to improve the quality and efficiency of education and training.
Dr Al Jalahma affirmed that Government Hospitals continues to prioritise the development of medical and health cadres by strengthening training and scholarship programmes.
This includes developing residency programmes and adopting modern digital education tools, helping improve professional competence and the quality of healthcare services provided to patients.
Bahrain’s government hospitals are advancing major digitalisation initiatives, highlighted by the expansion of the Tammini Platform which is designed to strengthen communication between patients’ families and medical teams.
The digital health service provides secure video and audio calls, regular health updates and messaging services for families of patients receiving treatment in critical care, surgical and specialised hospital departments.
The platform’s first phase is being expanded across 16 critical departments, including intensive care units, operating theatres and maternity wards. A second phase will extend the service to 66 general wards, covering more than 85 treatment locations across Government Hospitals.
The GDN reported last week that Bahrain’s largest public hospital is stepping up its digital transformation drive, with senior health officials reviewing new electronic healthcare systems and service improvements during a tour of the facility.
Lt Gen Dr Shaikh Mohammed and Dr Al Jalahma also reviewed the latest digital projects being implemented at the SMC.
He stressed the importance of continuing to develop healthcare infrastructure and advance digital transformation to improve the integration, efficiency and quality of healthcare services.
He praised the dedication and professionalism of medical, nursing and administrative teams across Government Hospitals and their commitment to delivering high-quality patient care.
