Manama: M42, a global health leader powered by artificial intelligence, technology, and genomics, has announced the official inauguration of Amana Healthcare Bahrain. The event, held under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Bahrain, was attended by senior officials from both the public and private sectors. The state-of-the-art facility in Al Jasra is M42's first in the Kingdom, marking a notable milestone in the company's regional expansion strategy and demonstrating its commitment to investing in the GCC to advance healthcare and improve patient outcomes.
According to Emirates News Agency, Amana Healthcare Bahrain was developed in a strategic partnership with Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company, the sovereign wealth fund of the Kingdom of Bahrain. It is the first specialised long-term care and rehabilitation hospital of its kind in the country. This facility enhances the national continuum of care by creating dedicated capacity for post-acute recovery, allowing acute-care hospitals to concentrate on their primary medical and surgical missions.
Shaikh Abdulla bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, Chief Executive Officer of Mumtalakat, remarked that the inauguration of Amana Healthcare Bahrain is a key milestone in strengthening the Kingdom's healthcare ecosystem. He emphasized Mumtalakat's commitment to investing in initiatives with significant local impact while supporting the Kingdom's economic diversification. He expressed pride in partnering with M42 on this achievement and confidence in the facility's positive contribution to the Kingdom.
Dimitris Moulavasilis, Group Chief Executive Officer of M42, stated that the inauguration represents a pivotal step in M42's regional growth journey, reinforcing their commitment to expanding access to patient-centric care across the GCC. The partnership with Mumtalakat highlights the strength of public-private collaboration in advancing national healthcare priorities and delivering sustainable community impacts. The facility contributes to building specialised care capacity across the region, essential for improving patients' quality of life.
The hospital spans more than 15,000 square meters and houses over 100 beds dedicated to long-term care and rehabilitation. Supported by a multidisciplinary team of 250 clinicians, nurses, therapists, and support staff, the facility is a valuable addition to Bahrain's healthcare sector, creating new employment pathways and offering extensive training and development opportunities.
Dr. Mohamed Ameen AlSaati, Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer of M42, and Chief Executive Officer of M42 Bahrain, highlighted that Amana Healthcare Bahrain is designed to deliver world-class long-term care and rehabilitation services locally. The facility supports the strengthening of national healthcare capacity by providing specialised care in a dedicated setting, ensuring continuity of support for complex or long-term conditions. It also collaborates with Bahraini clinicians, nurses, and therapists, fostering future leaders of advanced care delivery in the Kingdom.
The launch of Amana Healthcare Bahrain is part of a broader investment strategy focused on strengthening national healthcare capabilities and expanding access to specialist services. It reflects M42's ambition to deepen its regional footprint by building specialised care capacity, clinical expertise, and care pathways necessary for supporting healthier communities across the GCC and beyond.
