The regulatory position in Bahrain
Medicines in the Kingdom of Bahrain are regulated by the National Health Regulatory Authority (NHRA).
We have not verified Bahrain's personal-import procedure from a primary source, so we do not describe one. Requirements should be confirmed directly with the NHRA before any step is taken.
What we can describe is the general concept that applies across the region: a named-patient supply. A named-patient supply is a quantity of a prescription medicine intended for one identified patient, requested by that patient's treating physician, documented by a prescription and a medical report, and handled through licensed channels with the cold chain and batch traceability intact. It is not a commercial sale to the public and it is not a substitute for a locally registered product where one is available.
Gathering the documentation below before contacting the authority usually shortens the process, whichever route the NHRA confirms applies.
