Bahrain’s key health and telecommunications systems are fully prepared to respond to any emergency, officials confirmed during inspections of vital facilities across the Kingdom yesterday.
Central Medicine warehouse
His Excellency Lieutenant General Dr Shaikh Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Khalifa, Chairman of the Supreme Council of Health, visited central medicine warehouses alongside Her Excellency Dr Jalila bint Sayed Jawad Hassan, Minister of Health. The inspection focused on storage conditions, inventory management, and distribution mechanisms to ensure uninterrupted supplies of medicines and medical equipment to hospitals and clinics nationwide. Dr Jalila highlighted the advanced digital tracking systems recently implemented, which monitor stock levels in real time and flag potential shortages before they occur.
“Ensuring that essential medicines are always available is a top priority,” Dr Jalila said. “Our teams are continuously upgrading storage protocols and logistics to guarantee safety, quality, and efficiency across all health institutions.”

At Salmaniya Medical Complex, members of the Board of Commissioners of the National Institution for Human Rights (NIHR) reviewed medical care provided to residents and citizens injured in recent attacks. Officials assessed treatment protocols, hospital readiness, and the level of care being extended to patients. They also inspected shelters housing displaced residents, including Al Budaiya and Dar Al Karama Social Care Centre, ensuring that accommodation, social services, and humanitarian support meet national standards.
“We are committed to safeguarding human dignity and delivering professional care even under exceptional circumstances,” said an NIHR official. “All protocols are aligned with recognised humanitarian and medical standards to support affected residents and citizens.”
Telecom
Meanwhile, the telecommunications sector has reassured the public that network services will remain fully operational under all circumstances. Dr Shaikh Abdullah bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, Minister of Transportation and Telecommunications, conducted visits to Batelco, STC Bahrain, Zain Bahrain, and BNET to inspect emergency response procedures and rapid recovery systems.
“The telecommunications sector is a key pillar of national security and digital infrastructure,” the minister said. “Maintaining uninterrupted connectivity is essential not only for daily life but also for emergency response and coordination across all sectors.”
Officials emphasised that coordinated preparedness across health, humanitarian, and telecom sectors reflects Bahrain’s commitment to protecting residents and ensuring essential services remain uninterrupted during any crisis.
