Introducing 50 young participants to the world of medicine and healthcare professions: KIMSHEALTH Successfully Concludes the 1st Edition of its “Discover Healthcare” Summer Camp

24 August 2026 (Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain): KIMSHEALTH Group, a leading provider of healthcare services, has successfully concluded its interactive summer camp, “Discover Healthcare”, held at KIMSHEALTH Hospital in Umm Al Hassam. The camp received more than 100 registration requests, with 50 participants selected to take part in its first edition. The three-day educational experience featured 9 specialised sessions delivered by a number of experts and specialists from the Group.

The camp offered participants a comprehensive hands-on experience that enabled them to gain closer insight into the world of healthcare. Participants were introduced to the various professions and roles that make up the hospital ecosystem, from senior management and medical services to nursing and different functions and specialties. This helped them develop a broader understanding of how hospitals operate and how different teams work together to deliver patient care.

The camp’s activities included specialised sessions, interactive activities, educational games, and the production of videos as part of the programme. Participants explored a range of health topics relevant to their daily lives, including nutrition and wellness, skincare, the importance of limiting excessive use of digital devices, the role of physiotherapy, and the importance of maintaining correct body posture.

The experience also enabled participants to acquire practical skills in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid, and to take part in educational activities and challenges that combined learning, entertainment, and teamwork. These activities enhanced their ability to understand health concepts and apply them in a practical manner.

The programme also included a tour of the hospital, featuring a visit to the operating room and an introduction to the working environment across its various facilities and services. Participants also had the opportunity to meet doctors, members of the senior management team, and staff from different departments and specialties.

In addition, they were able to have lunch with a number of doctors and management members in an interactive setting that allowed them to ask questions and gain a closer understanding of the nature of work in the healthcare sector and the diverse career paths it offers.

Commenting on the occasion, Dr Sheriff Mohammed Sahadullah, Chief Executive Officer of KIMSHEALTH Group, said: “We are pleased to have successfully concluded the ‘Discover Healthcare’ programme, and to have witnessed such strong engagement from the participants, who demonstrated genuine passion and enthusiasm throughout the camp to learn and explore the world of medicine. We were keen for the experience to go beyond introducing medical professions, by giving participants a comprehensive understanding of the hospital as an integrated ecosystem where doctors, nurses, administrators, and all service teams work side by side to serve patients.”

He added: “The engagement we witnessed across the sessions, activities, and practical experiences confirms the importance of presenting health knowledge to young people in a way that is close to their interests and needs. We are proud that KIMSHEALTH gave them the opportunity to learn from its experts and explore the different roles and professions within the hospital, while also acquiring practical skills in first aid and CPR, and understanding the importance of healthy nutrition, body care, physical activity, and the balanced use of digital technologies. We hope this experience has contributed to building a more positive and informed relationship between the new generation and the world of healthcare.”

The success of the camp reflects KIMSHEALTH’s commitment to continuing initiatives that promote health awareness among different segments of the community, with a particular focus on the younger generation through initiatives that combine education, practical experience, and direct interaction with specialised professionals.

The initiative also underscores the Group’s keenness to utilise its medical expertise and capabilities in service of the community, while providing young participants with a realistic understanding of the nature of work within healthcare institutions and the importance of integrating different specialties and roles in delivering advanced patient care.
