Parliamentary Services and Shura Clash on Medical Bahraniation

The article discussed a proposed law that suggests increasing the percentage of Bahraini nationals in the staffing of private healthcare facilities to 50%, aiming to nationalize jobs and create employment opportunities for Bahraini citizens. However, the government has expressed reservations about the proposal, considering that fixing a set percentage could hinder flexibility in adapting to developments in the healthcare sector and might impact investment attraction—especially since the sector requires specialized and rare skills that are difficult to be fully available among Bahrainis. The government also mentioned that the proposed law could impede licensing procedures and future changes, advocating instead for the adoption of flexible standards and executive directives. It emphasized the importance of government investment in training and qualifying national personnel to ensure the quality of healthcare services without imposing fixed percentages that could affect the market and investment climate.
