Bahrain - A ground-breaking ceremony took place yesterday at the site of a new hospital in A’ali.

The twin-hospital complex is an ambitious project by Bahrain’s oldest private hospital, the American Mission Hospital (AMH).

It will be built in two phases, the first consisting of a maternity and children’s hospital and the second a 100-bed multi-speciality hospital.

Covering nearly 30,000 square metres, it will include single-roomed intensive care units, an imaging centre, infertility centre, 300-seat auditorium for meetings and conferences, as well as a special needs children’s development assessment and treatment centre.

Yesterday’s ceremony was attended by guests including US Embassy deputy chief of mission Amiee Cutrona, government officials, hospital board members and AMH chief executive Dr George Cheriyan.

The new hospital will be AMH’s fifth location in Bahrain, with other locations in Manama, Saar, Amwaj and Riffa.

Established by Christian missionaries in 1902, the first one-room clinic of AMH was in the Manama Suq and it later moved to its present location in Manama.

It has three buildings, set up in 1903, 1926 and 2000, of which the 1926 building is a dedicated clinic for women and children, which is also a cultural heritage building.
