Through this program, participants' genetic health variations are identified, which aids in pharmacogenomics applications, ensuring the correct medication choices and helping to avoid unexpected side effects. Additionally, the program provides insight into their genetic status, determining whether they carry mutations or genetic variations that could be inherited by their children. This contributes to enhancing healthcare quality and supports the health sector in developing preventive and therapeutic measures based on Bahrain’s genetic map.

The Bahraini Genome Program campaign welcomes participants aged 18 and above.
For individuals under 18 years old, participation is allowed with parental consent, and the father must register the child through the eGovernment portal using the Smart Key.
If you wish to participate as an individual, you can log in with your Smart Key on the eGovernment portal and complete the online registration for the National Genome Program. After registration, you should visit the health center in your residential area, where the laboratory staff will collect a blood sample and confirm your participation in the program. The process is simple and convenient, requiring no prior appointment and no doctor’s consultation.
You can also participate in Genome Center campaigns, which are organized throughout the year in public spaces, shopping malls, conferences, and various events.
If you wish to participate as an institution, you can contact the National Genome Center team to arrange a visit to your organization’s premises, where the genome team will organize a special campaign for your institution.
