The Shura Council yesterday recognised Bahrain’s advanced healthcare progress on World Health Day, which falls today.
The services committee, chaired by Dr Jameela Al Salman, affirmed that the advanced level Bahrain has achieved in the healthcare sector required continued efforts to enhance the quality of medical care and promote innovation in the field.
She stressed the importance of collaboration between the legislative and executive branches to further develop Bahrain’s healthcare infrastructure.
The council praised Bahrain’s achievements in maternal and child healthcare, saying the 2025 theme for World Health Day, ‘A Healthy Start for a Promising Future’, highlighted the critical importance of supporting mothers and newborns.
“Bahrain has made remarkable progress in providing comprehensive maternal and reproductive health services,” said Dr Al Salman, adding that the kingdom had implemented intensive care programmes for pregnant women, routine child health check-ups, family planning, premarital screenings, post-partum and post-abortion care, as well as regular women’s health screenings.
Dr Al Salman highlighted the significance of World Health Day as an opportunity to focus on both global health opportunities and challenges, particularly in strengthening public health awareness and the capacity of health systems to address epidemics and infectious diseases.
She also expressed deep appreciation for the role played by the Supreme Council of Health, the Health Ministry and all relevant institutions in enhancing the health and well-being of citizens and residents alike.
Dr Al Salman reaffirmed the committee’s ongoing commitment to supporting health policy through legislative development.
