Government Hospitals have introduced the fellowship programme for 2024 and 2025, designed in collaboration with the Supreme Council of Health and the Labour Fund “Tamkeen” to train Bahraini doctors in specialised fields.

Dr Mariam Al-Jalahma, Chief Executive of the Government Hospitals, noted that the fellowship programme aims to invest in national human capital through an all-encompassing training plan for doctors.

This initiative is geared towards improving doctors’ proficiency and equipping them with the skills needed to stay abreast of modern advancements in the medical sector.

Al-Jalahma further remarked that this plan is part of the collaborative efforts between the Supreme Council of Health and the Labour Fund “Tamkeen”.

It falls within broader initiatives and programmes aimed at advancing and training national personnel in the health sector.

These initiatives are set to support over 700 Bahrainis, including doctors and nurses, through five key initiatives announced last June.

She detailed that the plan encompasses training programmes in a variety of medical specialities such as anaesthesia, orthopaedics, cardiology, haematology and nephrology, ophthalmology, psychiatry, surgery, radiology, ENT, emergency medicine, among others.
