Premarital medical screening in Bahrain is being expanded to cover a wider range of health conditions, including infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis B and C and syphilis, as part of updated measures aimed at strengthening early detection and helping couples make more informed decisions before marriage.
The changes, introduced through an edict amending the executive bylaws of the 2004 Premarital Check-ups Law, also establish clearer protocols for handling medical results, reinforce safeguards around the confidentiality of health information and the privacy of both parties, and determine how to regulate the issuance and validity of screening certificates .
