Health · Barbar, Bahrain
A Ministry of Health centre in the Northern Governorate. Open 24 hours.
To access essential medical services, emergency treatment, pharmacy prescriptions, and specialized diagnostic care within the Northern Governorate without traveling to major complexes.
Inaugurated on July 1, 2014, this health center was established through a 3.5 million Bahraini dinar project funded by the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development (KFAED). Functioning as a "miniature hospital," it serves roughly 54,000 residents across dozens of local residential blocks. To alleviate pressure on the Salmaniya Medical Complex, a parliamentary initiative transitioned the facility into a fully functional 24-hour urgent and primary care clinic in early 2022.

Local tips
- Call the national healthcare helpline at 80007000 exactly at 7:00 AM if you need to secure a critical same-day general consultation slot.
- Specialized care avenues such as physiotherapy, non-communicable disease (NCD) screening, and advanced diagnostics require a formal internal referral from a staff general practitioner first.
- When visiting late at night, bypass the main daytime entrance gates and proceed directly to the marked Urgent Care / Emergency entrance bay.
