Bahrain’s first place ranking in the latest edition of Nikkei’s COVID-19 Recovery Index is further evidence of the Kingdom’s successful response to the COVID-19 pandemic, said the Ministry of Health. His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa’s government reacted early and decisively, which has led to a "strong post-pandemic" economic and social recovery.

“Throughout the pandemic, Bahrain, led by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, worked tirelessly to protect public health by ensuring minimal disruption to the health services.”

The ministry also said that the universal vaccine roll-out campaign has the backing of a world-class public information campaign, the availability of multiple vaccines, and a high level of public buy-in. The ministry also thanked the efforts and sacrifices of frontline workers and the public who embody the spirit of Team Bahrain.
