American Mission Hospital (AMH) has expanded its work with leading medical institutions, with its latest agreement creating new opportunities for healthcare professionals in Bahrain. “In May this year, American Mission Hospital (AMH) and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) Medical University of Bahrain signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to formalise and strengthen collaboration in healthcare education, clinical training and healthcare research in the Kingdom of Bahrain,” explains Dr. George Cheriyan, Corporate CEO of American Mission Hospital. “Building on the longstanding relationship between the two not-for-profit organisations, our agreement establishes a strategic framework to expand joint initiatives supporting the education and training of future healthcare professionals across undergraduate and clinical postgraduate levels, including the internship and Arab Board programmes,” he adds. The RCSI partnership forms part of AMH’s wider network of collaborations, which also includes Christian Medical College (CMC) Vellore in India and Mayo Clinic in the US. Dr. Cheriyan notes that these collaborations are already yielding positive results and benefiting the community in Bahrain. “We are not only offering affordable and quality healthcare to the people of this country through our hospital system, but also participating in community development by promoting and enhancing medical education, enabling the future doctors of Bahrain to get the best training possible at our facilities,” notes Dr. Deepak Abraham, Chief Medical Officer at AMH.
