A specialised COVID-19 medical centre was opened yesterday at the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre (BIECC). Supreme Council for Health (SCH) President and National Medical Taskforce For Combating COVID-19 head, Lieutenant-General Dr Shaikh Mohammed bin Abdulla Al Khalifa, inaugurated the hub which will follow up on light and medium coronavirus cases.

He paid tribute to His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa for his support, extending thanks to His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for his constant follow-up on the Team Bahrain’s national efforts.

The centre includes eight stations for initial classification, eight for registration, six for nursing, 16 medical clinics, seven treatment rooms, seven follow-up rooms and stations for granting follow-up appointments.

There are also radiology equipment and stations for recording short stays for cases that need observation, as more than 80 beds have been allocated for follow-up and observation.

The facility, which was set up in a record five working days, has been provided with two ambulances to shift emergency cases that require transfer to hospitals and intensive care units.
