Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company, in collaboration with M42 group’s subsidiary Amana Healthcare, has commenced the construction of a new specialised long-term care and rehabilitation facility in Bahrain. 

The move represents Amana Healthcare's expansion into the Bahrain region. 

The beginning of construction was marked by a groundbreaking ceremony which took place on 23 September.  

The event was attended by Amana Healthcare Bahrain CEO and M42 Bahrain acting CEO Dr Mohamed AlSaati, as well as other dignitaries from Amana Healthcare. 

AlSaati said: “The groundbreaking will mark the first step in this journey, with momentum maintained through a Recruitment Day on 12 October 2024 in Manama to engage and recruit the Kingdom’s most skilled local professionals.  

“We are looking forward to seeing Amana Healthcare take shape in Bahrain, ready to positively impact people in the Kingdom.”  

Situated in Al Jasra, Bahrain, the Amana Healthcare facility is expected to be the first international provider of specialised long-term care and post-acute rehabilitation services in Bahrain.  

With a planned capacity of 100 beds, the facility is designed to cater to the growing demand for high-quality healthcare services. 

In addition to the beds, the 15,000m² facility will feature a hydrotherapy pool, two large gyms, two majlises, and gardens, all aimed at providing a holistic approach to patient care.  

The companies are also planning to focus on technology, as the facility is set to offer tech-enabled services for patients across its three wings. 

With construction underway, the Amana Healthcare facility is expected to open its doors and commence operations in 2025. 

Mumtalakat Local Impact Investments managing director Khalid Hussain Taqi said: “The launch of Amana Healthcare will allow us to leverage M42’s expertise in delivering world-class care, ensuring that technology and innovation are at the forefront of one of the most vital sectors – healthcare.  

“The groundbreaking ceremony marks the start of the project, which will ensure the efficient use of resources and further elevate the accessibility and quality of healthcare provided to all citizens and residents. Furthermore, this aligns with our mandate to create sustainable, long-term partnerships that deliver valuable services while creating highly skilled job opportunities.”
