Bahrain is similar to other Middle Eastern countries in requiring foreign companies wishing to export goods to this country to do so through a local agent. Most distributors act as agents for many international companies providing equipment and supplies ranging from hospital furniture, medical & surgical instruments, pharmaceuticals and monitoring equipment. Bahrain is centrally located in the Middle East and is a popular venue for Trade Fairs of all disciplines. Little medical equipment is manufactured locally and many sectors are 100% reliant on imports. Competition is mainly between American, British and German manufacturers.

Bahrain's healthcare system is organised and administered by the Ministry of Health in conjunction with other ministries, the private sector and its communities. Primary healthcare is extensive with a well-established network of health centres and clinics providing ante- and postnatal care, family planning services, immunisation, curative & preventative dental treatment, laboratory, radiology, nursing and physiotherapy services.
