Royal Bahrain Hospital earns regional gold certification for patient-centered care

BAHRAIN—Royal Bahrain Hospital has received the prestigious Gold Certification in Patient-Centred Care and Patient Experience under the Arab Hospitals Federation’s Gold Initiative Certificate – 7th Edition.

The recognition highlights the hospital’s commitment to delivering high-quality, patient-focused healthcare and reinforces its standing as one of Bahrain’s leading private healthcare providers.

The award is one of the Arab healthcare sector’s most respected quality recognitions.

It honours hospitals that create exceptional patient-centred care environments while adopting innovative global practices and continuously improving the patient experience across every stage of treatment.

Recognition for Patient-First Healthcare

The certification reflects Royal Bahrain Hospital’s commitment to providing care that extends beyond medical treatment.

The hospital focuses on delivering compassionate, integrated healthcare built on respect, empathy, and clear communication.

It also encourages patients to participate actively in decisions about their treatment, creating personalised care pathways designed to improve both clinical outcomes and overall patient satisfaction.

By earning the certification, Royal Bahrain Hospital joins a select group of healthcare institutions across the Arab region recognised for placing patient experience at the centre of healthcare delivery.

The recognition also acknowledges the hospital’s efforts to build a culture where dignity, safety, and quality of care are key measures of success.

Dr. Sheriff Mohamed Sahadulla, Group Chief Executive Officer of KIMSHEALTH, said the organisation was honoured to receive the regional recognition, describing it as validation of the hospital’s long-standing “Patient First” strategy.

He noted that the achievement reflects the dedication of the hospital’s medical and administrative teams, who work together to deliver not only strong clinical outcomes but also a positive experience for patients and their families throughout their healthcare journey.

According to Dr. Sahadulla, patient experience has become a defining benchmark for healthcare excellence worldwide.

He added that KIMSHEALTH will continue investing in service improvements, innovation, advanced medical technologies, and modern clinical practices to deliver comprehensive care that meets international standards while responding to community needs
