Bahrain creates Supreme Council for Health (on 28 January 2013)
Sacrée reprise en main du domaine médical
In a bid to develop a national health strategy and monitor the development and application of quality standards for health services, Bahrain on January 28th announced the creation of the Supreme Council for Health by royal decree.
Minister of State for Defence Affairs, Lt. Gen. Dr. Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Khalifa, will chair the new council, and Bahraini Minister of Health Sadeq al-Shihabi will serve as vice chairman. Eleven other members will serve the council on a four-year, renewable term. [...]
“Bahrain now ranks eighth in the world in terms of the increase in the number of diabetes and obesity cases,” she [dr. Sumaya al Jowde, MP] said. These conditions, along with high blood pressure and cholesterol-related diseases, “require that a comprehensive national plan be rolled out to all government ministries, not just the Ministry of Health”, she said.
On aurait pu naivement penser que le MoH était jutement le lieu pour faire face à une telle tâche.
