LINK Healthcare is not “another hospital”, not “Another clinic”, not “Another home-healthcare service”. It is the integration of all components of healthcare services in one entity named “LINK HEALTHCARE SYSTEM”
LINK HEALTHCARE SYSTEM is a client-oriented healthcare system focused on the prevention, early diagnosis of the disease, intervention, and provision of evidence-based medical care for the patient. Healthcare is provided to the individual and the community at its outpatient centers, LINK Hospital, or any of its inpatient affiliated centers at several levels to include but not limited to primary, secondary, and tertiary outpatient healthcare services.
Disease management programs, at a fixed annual premium, have been negotiated with insurance companies in the Kingdom of Bahrain to cover chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. The programs include a monthly scheduled medical consultation, laboratory tests, and specific radiology procedures. The outcome of disease management programs proved to be better than the conventional disease management schemes.
Its affiliation with international Centers of Excellence, LINK HEALTHCARE SYSTEM and in collaboration with regional or international expert in the field provides its patients with a review of their medical condition. This review is done by the concerned physician who offers the best consultation, follow-up, and management of the case in the Kingdom of Bahrain. In case the patient selects to travel abroad and needs inbound and outbound MEDEVAC services (Medical airplane transport) arrangements could be made through LINKMEDICARE international affiliate members.
LINK Healthcare system thinks globally and acts locally. The development of Bahraini manpower is our priority. Arrangements have been made with institutions, in the Kingdom of Bahrain and abroad, to train Bahraini manpower to acquire the knowledge and skills in specialized areas of hospital operation and management.
