A key feature of the project will be the integration of artificial intelligence-powered genetic testing, genomics and precision medicine. These technologies are intended to support more personalised, predictive and preventive approaches to healthcare.
The anticipated recruitment will cover medical consultants, specialist physicians, healthcare professionals, medical support teams and administrative staff. The initiative is also expected to encourage knowledge transfer and provide opportunities for Bahraini talent to develop expertise in specialised medical fields.
Her Excellency Maha Abdulhameed Mofeez, Chief Executive of the Labour Fund Tamkeen said, “This investment aligns with our strategic direction to support sustainable economic growth by attracting high-value investments that contribute to creating promising employment opportunities for Bahrainis and providing career development opportunities in these emerging specializations.
