Diamond Status from NHRA
In April 2021, the Manama main branch and the satellite branches in Saar and Amwaj Islands have been awarded the ‘Diamond Status’, once again, by the National Health Regulatory Authority (NHRA) of Bahrain. It is the highest level of accreditation given to hospitals by NHRA.
The accreditation is generally awarded, once every three years, after the processes and systems of healthcare facilities are thoroughly checked and assessed. It is a re-affirmation of the status awarded in 2017, for all the three locations. As the Riffa center is a new center, it will be assessed only on completion of three years of its functioning.
CAP Accreditation
In May 2021, the hospital became the first private hospital in Bahrain to achieve the CAP accreditation for its Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, and second in the country to achieve this, after the government facility King Hamad University Hospital
In May 2023, the hospital received CAP accreditation once again, from the College of American Pathologists, for the second time consecutively.
ISO Certification
The hospital has the certifications of ISO 9001 and ISO 45001, which it received in November 2021, for the Provision of In-patient and Out-patient Medical Services including Training, Dental, Diagnostic and Pharmacy Services from Bureau Veritas, UK.
Earlier Accreditations

And that status was reaffirmed in 2010.
