Sovereign wealth fund Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company has partnered with Abu Dhabi-based healthcare technology company M42 to establish the Amana Healthcare facility.
The partnership is in line with Bahrain's Vision 2030 healthcare objectives and aims to enhance the quality and accessibility of healthcare in the region.
Scheduled to begin operations next year, the Bahrain Amana Healthcare facility is part of Mumtalakat's efforts to invest in the welfare of Bahrain's population.
M42 said is dedicated to replicating its successful United Arab Emirates (UAE) care model in Bahrain, focusing on specialised rehabilitation and long-term care.
Bahrain Amana Healthcare in Al Jasra will cater to individuals' complex medical requirements for long-term inpatient care and extended stays.
The facility is designed to provide tech-enabled services and features a laboratory, radiology, hydrotherapy, therapy rooms, pharmacy, gym, majlis and recreational spaces.
M42 group CEO and managing director Hasan Jasem Al Nowais said: “This expansion will leverage M42’s advanced health and medical expertise to deliver personalised and precise care to communities across Bahrain.
“The collaboration is aligned with M42’s vision to transform health by positively impacting lives, enhancing outcomes for people, and improving overall quality of life.”
In addition to clinical care, the facility will offer tailored social programmes and non-clinical services to help patients and their families adjust to post-hospitalisation life.
These services will include community gatherings and recreational events to contribute to patients' holistic well-being.
Amana Healthcare's long-term care model has reportedly been recognised as reducing pressure on acute hospital beds and improving healthcare resource efficiency.
Mumtalakat CEO Shaikh Abdulla bin Khalifa Al Khalifa said: “Our partnership with M42 signifies a shared commitment to developing sustainable, long-term collaborations.
“This presents an opportunity to enhance the existing healthcare landscape in Bahrain by addressing crucial gaps and delivering added value services to the community, in addition to creating high skilled jobs for Bahrainis.”
