List of burn centres in Bahrain explained

This is a list of burn centres in Bahrain. A burn centre or burn care facility is typically a hospital ward which specializes in the treatment of severe burn injuries.

In 1980, the need for a dedicated burns unit in Bahrain was highlighted in the local medical literature after significant incidents of burns, commonly scalding injuries in children, were identified.^[1]
