I was suffering from excessive obesity, and I had tried many kinds of nutritional diets, in addition to weight reducing medications and products, but without success.

A relative of mine advised me to go to Bahrain Specialist Hospital and see Ms. Sowmya Chandra/Nutrition Specialist. Indeed I joined a healthy nutritional program which she had specifically designed to reduce my weight, and was suitable for my food taste. I started to see amazing results from the very first month, while enjoying the healthy meals prepared by the Hospital. Now, one year after joining the program, I have already lost about 63 kg’s of my weight.

Many thanks to my family, thanks to Mrs. Sowmya,thanks to the kitchen team, thanks to Bahrain Specialist Hospital and thanks to all those who supported me, stood by me and encouraged me.Thank you, Thank you and Thank you.

To whom it may concern!

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to Dr. Harilal and his Assistant for the best dental treatment that I have ever experienced in my life. Honestly speaking, I always used to be scared from dentists since I was young due to childhood experience and I kept having this fear from going to dentists all my life and now I am 26 years old. But after I visited Dr. Harilal and he started my treatment for almost all of my teeth, I decided to go to the dentist on regular basis for checkups. He doesn’t only treat the patient as a dentist, but also psychologically, which made me feel comfortable and willing to continue the rest of my treatment with him and his friendly assistant.

Bahrain Specialist Hospital should be proud to have a dentist like him.

Regards,

Najah Harajli

I would like to thank you a lot at Bahrain Specialist Hospital for taking care of one of my patients named Farheen Nazan. Today she came to visit me and she was sincerely happy about everything- from your hospitality, your care and compassion. She is absolutely normal now.

My other patients are also saying the same, so I thought I should convey my special thanks to you…

Regards,

Dr. Nazma Adil Habib

I have been in different hospitals in many countries and really enjoyed my stay at Bahrain Specialist Hospital. Big thanks to you all your staff and especially Dr. Salam Jibrel.

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

Both my husband and I have struggled with our weight for years and while we acknowledged all the benefits of losing weight both from the immediate and long term health benefits, we just couldn’t “get it together” enough to elect the obvious course of action.  However, over the past year the two seemingly divergent points of “weight problem” and “taking action” did FINALLY converge.  The Gulf Daily News featured an article about Bahrain Specialist Hospital’s new program that provided individuals with take away meals especially designed to meet their medical and dietary needs.  I finally had enough of struggling with such seemingly simple things like bending over to tie my shoelaces without turning red.  So I made appointments for my husband and I with BSH so we could embark on our new path to a better life. Dr. Jafar Al Said, Nephrology, Hypertension & Internal Medicine Consultant, ordered medical examinations for both my husband and I to check on our health conditions and their after assign to us the right diets; to ensure regular weight loss without compromises on our health.

When we picked up our first meals from BSH, what a pleasant surprise?  Contrary to what one would stereotypically expect a “hospital food”; our meals were a feast for the eyes, palate, and stomach!  As a result of these personalized eating plans we averaged a weekly weight-loss of 1 kg each with a total weight loss of 10 kg each by just eight weeks!

The anticipated and desired benefits of our weight loss is already being experienced… we can move more easily, with less stress on our bodies, we breath easier and our clothes fit better (as a matter of fact we’ve been required to buy new, smaller sized clothing)!  We saved on eating expenses, feel healthier and by following this program saved on health care expenses in the future. So the program is not an expense but an investment.  We look forward to continue the program and to lose more weight over the coming months.

My Delivery Experience at BSH

Mrs. Rania Al ABinali delivered her baby Deige Al Binali at BSH third floor, Laber & Delivery ward. Representatives from the patients’ PR division were able to get some feedback about Mrs. Al Binali’s experience as follows:

Q: How do you consider your experience at BSH?

A:  As you know, it’s my first delivery and I should say it is a wonderful experience. Apart from what we women have to go through, the medical care is great, the services are perfect, and the atmosphere and location with the sea view are relaxing and therapeutic. But above all I was impressed with the personal care I received as a patient. Therefore, I extend my gratitude to the Doctors, Nurses and all the Staff that participated in making this experience a joyful one.

Medical Check-ups for BMW Racing Drivers

Bahrain Specialist Hospital received a group of BMW International racing drivers, for the compulsory medical check-ups, which are requested by the international car racing committee. The team will join the activities taking place on the Bahraini racing tracks during this season of Formula one. The team was checked by Dr. Shashi Ranjan / Cardiology, assisted by a group of experienced nurses, who cared for the team and ensured that the flow of their medical check-ups would pass smoothly.     

"Dear Dr Harilal (and Indira)

I love my whiter teeth! Many thanks for the thoroughly effective work you completed last week, which has given me whiter, sparklier teeth!

I am truly delighted to have this done so easily and comfortably because as you know, I am not a keen dentistry patient. However your work is always so thoughtful smooth and gentle, that I have been pain free on every occasion you have worked with me, which I appreciate enormously."

Many, many thanks

During my treatment, Dr. Sunil Rao really motivated me to quit smoking. I am really satisfied with the hospital and its treatment."

Mr. Yasir Saeed

"I would like to thank Dr. Farah, all the nurses and all the staff that were involved in taking care of me and my baby during my stay at BSH. I really appreciated all the things you have done for us.  Thanks once again for the nursing care, medical care, catering services and special thanks to Dr. Farah."
