Dear colleagues,

It is my honor to welcome you all to the 2nd Bahrain Health Regulatory Conference.

Rooting back from its establishment, the National Health Regulatory Authority (NHRA) Services has pursued building up a comprehensive and integrated system based on a solid set of standards that guarantees keeping the organization of health professions services at the peak of International standards, and also maintaining Bahrain’s achievements over the past decades on the international map of healthcare services.a

To set a seal on the safe implementation of these purposes and to empower institutions in the health sector from all various levels and types, the Authority has secured programs that has the sole aim of attaining excellence through the means of different education tools and opening channels for communication, leading to development of systems, ways and approaches that will further help us and lead us only to thrive and soar becoming a leader in global healthcare.

In line with this approach embraced and embodied by the NHRA Facilities, it is our honor to launch the second edition of the NHRA Facilities’ annual conference. With the aim of serving and gathering all the concerned groups, NHRA Facilities and individuals, and to raise the awareness about the quality of health services, shifting it from a legal obligation imposed by the State to a self-commitment that stems from the health institutions conviction.

We hope that through this conference, which begins with the partnership of institutions in the same sector, we will develop a core community, a hub of partnership and wonderful collaboration to grow an infertile land with the centrality that revolves around the quality and excellence of health services.

All wishes to this conference, to all participants and sponsors to be successful.
