American Mission Hospital (AMH) is the first and the oldest medical facility not only in Bahrain but perhaps all across the Arabian Gulf. It is also the youngest when it comes to the way it embraces and adapts to the latest advances in the field of medical technology.

When the facility first opened its doors to the Bahraini community in 1903, it was called the Mason Memorial Hospital. It was the first choice, if not the only choice, until formal government healthcare facilities opened up sometime around 1940s.

From acquiring the first X-ray machine in the entire region in the 1940s to now opening the most eco-friendly state-of-the-art hospital in Januray 2023, AMH continues to be at the forefront of the medical field – using human expertise and the latest scientific technology to benefit patients.

As the only not-for-profit private hospital here for nearly 120 years, it continues to offer high quality, affordable, healthcare to the people of Bahrain.
