Health Insurance Advances
The Chairman of Bahrain’s Supreme Council of Health, Lieutenant General Physician Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Khalifa, said that the National Health Insurance Scheme for residents, which began implementation on October 31, 2026, is a step toward developing the healthcare system and strengthening the sustainability of coverage and the efficiency of services. The scheme covers residents, eligible categories and their dependents. It provides a mandatory package of primary and secondary care, emergency services, treatment, diagnostic services and hospitalisation, with the private sector serving as the main point of access. It is expected to ease pressure on government facilities and reduce appointment waiting times, without changing the services or comprehensive coverage available to citizens. Registration is automatic upon the issuance or renewal of a work or residence permit, once the annual contribution has been paid. The current phase does not include employees of government entities and their dependents, or domestic workers sponsored by citizens.
