In April 1976, the College of Health Sciences was established to meet the health manpower needs of the health services in Bahrain. In October of that year, the College accepted its first intake of students. By December 2004, more than 4,000 students graduated among different specialties and became some of Bahrain’s much needed middle-level health professionals.
Nursing and Allied Health Education has evolved over the past four decades. Today, the College of Health Sciences is the sole provider of high quality health care education and training for Nurses and Allied Health Professionals in the State of Bahrain.
The College, which is primarily a Community Based College, was established in 1976, under the Governance of the Ministry of Health. The College developed over the past three decades to hold a reputable place in the region. It continually responded to the changes and demands from the health care industry. This led to a steady increase in Bahrainization of nursing and allied health human resources.
