Deputy Prime Minister Shaikh Khalid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa received American Mission Hospital (AMH) board chairman Dan Walters and other board members during their visit to Bahrain.
The Deputy Prime Minister commended the efforts of the AMH chairman, board members and executive management in overseeing the hospital’s development and expansion plans and enhancing the quality of its medical and treatment services.
He also acknowledged the hospital’s continued contributions as an active partner in Bahrain’s healthcare system, highlighting its long-standing humanitarian role in serving Bahraini society for more than 125 years.
