Box 20461, Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain Tel: (+973) 17 813-777 Email: [email protected] www.bahrainthismonth.com This October, we proudly celebrate the 350th issue of Bahrain This Month, becoming the first monthly magazine in the Kingdom to reach this milestone. Across three decades, our pages have documented Bahrain’s transformation, championed its achievements and celebrated the people who give it character. It is a publishing landmark we are honoured to share with the community we serve. For this landmark edition, our Health & Wellness feature explores practical ways to care for body and mind, from healthier habits to the technology helping us understand our bodies. We examine the latest wellness trends and consider how to distinguish useful developments from passing hype. Paul Welford of KIMSHEALTH and Royal Bahrain Hospital also shares his vision for healthcare that puts patients first. The importance of caring for others comes through in our interview with Daniel McRae, General Manager of the British Club Bahrain. His support for a community in Thailand, inspired by the loss of his father, offers a moving account of how personal grief can lead to lasting kindness. In motoring, our coverage follows the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix from Sakhir to Sepang, exploring the friendship between Bahrain and Malaysia behind this unusual change of venue. Closer to home, there is plenty to engage our community in the spheres of entertainment and sports. We celebrate a decade of Bahrain Jazz Fest, celebrate the Kingdom’s success at the 2026 Asian Games, preview the Junior Premier League’s biggest season and look ahead to the American Mission Hospital Island Classic charity golf tournament. In Woman This Month, Breast Cancer Awareness Month takes centre stage through Stories of Strength. Eight brave women share their experiences, challenges and messages of hope. We thank them for speaking openly about deeply personal journeys and helping others feel less alone. Alongside these stories, we explore skin health, wellbeing and autumn fashion, while our In Her Shoes interview introduces Ms. Siddiqa Abdulnabi Ali of The K Hotel Group. As ever, Bahrain This Month remains your Guide to a Great Way of Life.
