The Ministry of Health, in partnership with the Information and eGovernment Authority (iGA), has launched the third National Health Survey in Bahrain.
Targeting individuals aged 18 and above across all governorates, the survey involves a random sample of over 4,000 households to build a comprehensive health data foundation to support healthcare initiatives and development policies.
The survey process includes phone contact with randomly selected households to obtain consent and schedule a field researcher visit.
During the visit, participants undergo essential medical tests, including blood pressure, pulse rate, vision, and blood tests, along with other assessments to accurately evaluate their health status.
The ministry and iGA emphasised the importance of community cooperation to ensure the survey’s success, as it is crucial for gathering data that reflects Bahrain’s health status.
These insights will help enhance healthcare services, study the community’s health profile, and build effective future health strategies.
