A state-of-the-art radiology unit was inaugurated yesterday at the Salmaniya Medical Complex (SMC) in a significant milestone for healthcare services in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Equipped with cutting-edge medical technologies like mammography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), this facility promises to revolutionise diagnostic imaging.
Lieutenant-General Dr. Shaikh Mohammed bin Abdulla Al Khalifa, President of the Supreme Council for Health (SCH), graced the inauguration ceremony, underscoring the importance of this development.
The unit’s launch, coinciding with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing fight against this devastating disease. With specialised radiology services now readily available, patients can expect enhanced diagnosis and treatment opportunities.
Royal support
Dr. Shaikh Mohammed commended the constant support of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for all efforts aimed at developing health services in the kingdom.
He praised the advanced level of the integrated services delivered by the radiology unit to patients and visitors of the SMC, which, he said, is in line with health sector’s vision of benefiting from the best medical devices and technologies and harnessing them to serve patients in all medical specialties.
Dr. Ahmed Mohammed Al Ansari, CEO of Government Hospitals, expressed thanks and appreciation to the SCH President for opening the new radiology unit, emphasising the keenness to continue enhancing the progress of the health sector in the kingdom.
The SCH President added that the executive management of the Government Hospitals is keen to keep pace with various technical and therapeutic developments, within the framework of the follow-up of the SCH President and Board of Trustees of Government Hospitals, led by Shaikh Hesham bin Abdulaziz Al Khalifa, citing the launch of a package of development initiatives at SMC.
He asserted that the new unit would provide the best radiology services for patients. He indicated that the unit’s GE Pristina (Digital Mammography) device is considered among the latest technology in accurately diagnosing and monitoring breast diseases, noting that the Government Hospitals had held a course for the affiliates of the Radiology Department, in collaboration with GF Healthcare, to train them on the use of the new mammogram machine.
