Overview of AMH

American Mission Hospital (AMH) is a 125-bed private hospital in Manama and the oldest healthcare institution in Bahrain, tracing its origins to the Arabian Mission of the Reformed Church in America in 1893. For more than 130 years, AMH has served the people of Bahrain with a mission of healing and community service.

Despite its historic roots, AMH has modernised extensively, offering general and specialist outpatient clinics, inpatient services, maternity care, a dental centre, and a well-regarded family medicine programme. The hospital operates a main branch in Manama and a clinic in A'ali.

AMH is known for its community-oriented approach, affordable pricing relative to other private hospitals, and a warm, patient-first culture that attracts both Bahraini and expatriate patients.
