bahrainthismonth.com | SEPTEMBER 2025 HEALTHCARE 44 Mayo Partnership Empowers AMH King Hamad American Mission Hospital (KHAMH) has joined the prestigious Mayo Clinic Care Network (MCCN), which grants the hospital’s healthcare professionals access to world-class expertise, innovative resources and advanced patient-centred care solutions. “As a member of the MCCN, the King Hamad American Mission Hospital now has special access to Mayo Clinic’s knowledge and expertise,” says Dr. George Cheriyan, the Corporate CEO of the American Mission Hospital, Bahrain, after signing the special agreement with Dr. Brian Costello, Medical Director of the Mayo Clinic Global Consulting. “We are pleased to welcome King Hamad American Mission Hospital to the Mayo Clinic Care Network,” says Mohamad Bydon, M.D., Executive Medical Director of Academic Affairs and the Europe, Middle East, India and Africa regions at Mayo Clinic. “It is clear that both organisations share similar values and a commitment to providing high-quality patientcentred care. We look forward to collaborating in ways that enhance that care.” Mayo Clinic, ranked as the world’s No. 1 hospital in Newsweek’s annual list of the ‘World’s Best Hospitals’ for the seventh consecutive year, officially added King Hamad American Mission Hospital, A’Ali, to its network in December 2024. Created in 2011, the Mayo Clinic Care Network now includes 45 member organisations across the United States, the Middle East, Asia, India and Mexico. KHAMH is the first in Bahrain and the 14th international healthcare facility to join this exclusive network. “A wide range of benefits for Bahrain’s health sector are now possible through our hospital in A’Ali,” says Dr. Deepak Abraham, Chief of Medical Staff and Medical Director for KHAMH, A’Ali, who leads the collaboration from the side of AMH, Bahrain. “The collaboration is beneficial in many ways: Patients with complex conditions who need to travel overseas for an expert opinion from international centres can consult relevant KHAMH physicians, who can refer this on to the concerned Mayo physicians through internal pathways established as part of the membership. This can then be conveyed to patients, and KHAMH can coordinate care with Mayo Clinic if the need arises. Mohamad Bydon, M.D. Dr. Brian Castello Dr. George Cheriyan
