Premarital screening is a vital step for couples planning to marry in Bahrain. It helps identify potential genetic, infectious, and health risks that could affect the couple or their future children. At MEMBH, we provide comprehensive, confidential premarital checkups.

What Does Premarital Screening Include?

  • Blood Group and Rh Factor: Determines compatibility and Rh incompatibility risk
  • Hemoglobin Electrophoresis: Screens for thalassemia and sickle cell trait — common in Bahrain
  • Complete Blood Count (CBC): Checks for anemia and general health markers
  • Infectious Disease Screening: Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, and syphilis
  • Fertility Assessment: Basic hormonal evaluation for both partners
  • Genetic Counseling: Review family history for hereditary conditions

Bahrain has one of the highest rates of sickle cell disease and thalassemia in the region. Premarital screening helps couples understand their genetic risks and make informed decisions. Our compassionate team ensures complete confidentiality and provides counseling to help you understand your results.
