The Royal Humanitarian Foundation (RHF) yesterday signed a cooperation agreement with the Royal Bahrain Hospital and the KIMSHEALTH Bahrain Medical Centre (KBMC), in line with its keenness to deliver lowpriced healthcare services to its sponsored families, through the “Eshraqat Card” project.

RHF Secretary-General, Dr Mustafa Al Sayed, and Board of Directors Chairman of KBMC and President of the Royal Bahrain Hospital, Ahmed Jawahery, signed the agreement. Under the agreement, “Eshraqat Card” holders will pay reduced fees when undergoing operations and for other medical services.

The “Eshraqat” card project was launched by the RHF in partnership with a group of social institutions. It enables its holders to benefit from reduced rates on services provided by more than 220 entities. Al Sayed indicated that the agreement is within the framework of community partnership, to pave the way for all institutions and entities to contribute to serving orphans and widows, and engage in humanitarian work to serve society.

Ahmed Jawahery said that the move is in line with the hospital’s keenness to support community members, expressing pride in signing the agreement aimed at providing health services to RHF-sponsored families at discounted prices. He also affirmed that the agreement will be renewed annually.
