KIMS pioneering vision of affordable healthcare

The group has always lived up to its established values of compassion, affordability, ethics, quality, excellence, transparency, innovation and trust.  Dr M I Sahadullah, Group Chairman and Managing Director, says the organisation has been instrumental in revolutionizing the art of healthcare delivery through its quality focused systems and practices. 

“Since 2002, we have continued to evolve on the back of our strengths and core values in India and the Middle East. Presently, we have 25 hospitals and medical centres, bed capac - i t y o f m o r e than 2,000 and employee strength of 7,000.  “Our network is spread across India, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and the UAE and we aim to move ahead with a firm determination of offering world-class facilities. 

“Quality and patient safety come first at KIMSHEALTH and this is reflected at all levels. Most of our hospitals and medical centres are duly accredited by the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards International, which is a globally renowned independent authority on quality standards in the field.

“In terms of patient communication, we are consistently improving ourselves to align with the best of platforms. New touchpoints have been developed to ease the information and communication flow and we are constantly innovating to enhance the patient experience.”  The hospital’s national role was evident as it treated over 1,000 Covid-19 patients after exclusively dedicating one of its floors for the infected at its brand new facility.

And it emerged to be the only private facility in the Kingdom , where Covid-19 infected patients were admitted to. KIMS Bahrain has many more feathers in its cap including the setting up of state-of-the-art facilities that has gained huge popularity owing to accessibility, affordability and high quality of services. 

The hospital’s growing role in the Kingdom’s healthcare sector was highlighted during a media tour held last Wednesday.   The event also spotlighted the hospital group’s latest project to set up a $20 million state-of-the art rehabilitative care centre in Umm Al Hassam for those who have undergone major surgeries in partnership with the French healthcare group Clinea. 

The 10-storey purpose built facility will have 110 rehabilitation beds. Moreover, according to the hospital management, the facility will provide rehabilitation day care for 30 outpatients. The rehabilitation centre will be the seventh KBH facility in the Kingdom. The group has four medical clinics and two hospitals in the country.

The first clinic was set up in 2004 in Umm Al Hassam and it became the country’s first private healthcare facility.  KBH clinics are located in Janabiya, Askar and Muharraq and the two hospitals are Royal Bahrain Hospital (RBH) in Zinj and Kims Health Hospital in Umm Al Hassam. The recent addition of specialties at RBH includes Oncology (medical and surgical), Hematology, IVF, Histopathology, Advanced Pediatrics, Neurosurgery, Shoulder and Hand Surgeries.
