During your time in Bahrain, the need may arise for you to visit the Naval Branch Health Clinic (NBHC) Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Unit (NMRTU). The clinic provides routine primary medical care and services to active duty military members and their families. For services other than primary care, patients are referred to a host nation medical facility for specialized care.

TREATMENT DIFFERENCES

While there may be some cultural and treatment differences in Bahrain, rest assured that the medical standard of care you receive is the highest quality. Although there are a few differences in medical practices, NMRTU staff are in constant collaboration with the host nation medical partners, ensuring a positive outcome and experience for all patients.

The Dental Clinic on the installation provides comprehensive acute dental care for active duty members. Retirees and government employees may receive care on a space-available basis. Some dependents must rely on Bahraini providers for their dental needs. If there are any questions about healthcare, please refer to your established health insurance plan.
