Medical Screening & Health Report
Following regulations and guidance of the Ministry of Health, Kingdom of Bahrain, and according to RCSI Bahrain policies on General Health, Infectious Diseases Screening and Vaccination of RCSI Bahrain Students and Blood Borne Viruses, all undergraduate students (new applicants and those who are registered) are required to submit evidence of infectious diseases screening and immunization. Further to Higher Education Council (HEC) requirements, students must be confirmed fit to study.
Summary of infectious disease screening requirements for new students
- Applicants: Initial screening requirements (Before Arrival in Bahrain)
The Infectious Disease Screening and Immunization Report must be completed in English by a licensed healthcare provider before registration/arrival in Bahrain. You will not be able to complete registration without approval of your health documents. Infectious disease screening and vaccination should be started once a student receives their offer letter. All parts of this form are to be completed by a licensed healthcare provider.
- After Registration: Rescreening requirements
Students who have not completed their initial screening (Medical and blood tests- the top section of the form) at either an NHRA healthcare centre in Bahrain, or a Ministry of Health government healthcare facility in a GCC country will require rescreening within 6 weeks after registration. Vaccinations can be taken in any country. Rescreening requirements will be communicated to students by the Student Health and Wellbeing team.
Note: Non-compliance with the requirements of the RCSI Bahrain medical screening and vaccination programme is in breach of the RCSI Bahrain Student Code of Conduct and can result in referral through the University’s disciplinary process.
