Ahlia University in Bahrain is committed to promoting the well-being of its students by providing them with access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health-care services. These services encompass a range of offerings, including information and education services, which are made available through special clinics, awareness campaigns, events, and informative lectures. The university recognizes the importance of ensuring that students have the knowledge, resources, and support they need to make informed decisions regarding their sexual and reproductive health. This proactive approach not only fosters a culture of well-being and empowerment on campus but also contributes to the overall physical and emotional health of its student community.
Health Clinic
https://www.ahlia.edu.bh/student-handbook/
A health clinic is located in the third floor and is staffed by a full-time nurse who is responsible for providing medical first aid services. During emergencies that cannot be addressed by the nurse, the nurse will arrange for the student to be taken by ambulance to the adjacent health center or in more serious cases to the nearest hospital.
Ahlia University boasts a comprehensive healthcare system to cater to the well-being of its community members. This includes a general clinic that offers essential first-aid services to address immediate healthcare needs.
’In addition to this, the university has established specialized clinics dedicated exclusively to providing sexual and reproductive health services, with a particular focus on the needs of female employees and students, including pregnant individuals.
A dedicated healthcare professional oversees these specialized clinics, ensuring that regular monthly appointments are available to provide necessary care, guidance, and support. This commitment to specialized healthcare services underscores the university's dedication to the holistic health and welfare of its diverse community.

Recent study examines effective treatments for post-prostatectomy disorders’[7]
Conducted by the Community University and published in major international journals Court
A recent study conducted by the Community University recommended the use of variable-intensity seismic frequencies (WBV) to treat urinary system disorders after prostatectomy, as a safe treatment with numerous physiological effects on the muscles of the body and pelvis, strengthening them and rapidly restoring their vitality.
A research team formed by the National University reached this conclusion among several results of a study published by one of the world's best-judged journals in the field of physiotherapy and medical rehabilitation, physiotherapy published by the international publishing house Elsevier Ltd., and is one of the first category magazines (Q1) ranked seventh in the field of physiotherapy and medical rehabilitation worldwide according to the international classification Web of Science and Scopus database.
The research team was formed by the team leader and professor of physiotherapy at the Community University, Dr. Sayed Tantawi, Dean of Scientific Research and Graduate Studies at the National University, Dr. Dalia Kamel, Dr. Walid Kamal Abdul Basit, Assistant Professor of Physiotherapy at Prince Sattam Bin Abdul Aziz University in Saudi Arabia, and Dr. Hani Al-Jawhari, Assistant Professor of Physiotherapy at Cairo University in Egypt.
On this occasion, the founding president of the National University and chairman of its board of trustees, Professor Abdullah al-Hawaj, praised the growing interest of the university's professors and researchers in scientific research and the conduct of research studies that are of interest to various institutions and research centers around the world, noting the effort sought by the research team formed by the university and its good results, and this is evidenced by the interest of one of the best international journals courted by its adoption and publication.
He added: We encourage our teachers and students to carry out joint research projects, and strengthen them with Gulf and Arab expertise to make a mark on the National University and the Kingdom of Bahrain in the process of scientific research.
For his part, the leader of the research team Dr. Sayed Tantawi said that this study is the first of its kind in physiotherapy for cases of urinary disorder after prostatectomy, and was built on various applications tests while it took about three and a half years to prepare and publish.
He added: There are many therapeutic methods in such common cases after this type of surgery, including bioflux, electrical stimulation, lifestyle changes, or a combination of these strategies, but with rapid scientific progress in the field of physical therapy may emerge new treatment methods such as variable-intensity seismic frequency therapy (WBV) which has been tested and applied in many cases of illness.
Dr. Sayed Tantawi noted that the journal Physiotherapy stated in the letter of approval for the publication of this research that it is a promising and distinctive beginning in the field of rehabilitation for men's health due to the scarcity of distinctive research directed to this type of specialization and this has increased the insistence of the research team to complete the journey and focus on scientific research in this field.
This scientific achievement is the result of the University's policy of supporting serious and sober scientific research, which is based on promoting scientific research that addresses issues of concern to Bahrain and the Gulf as a whole, and in line with the 2016-2020 higher education and scientific research strategies launched by the Higher Education Council and its Secretariat and supervised its implementation with all due course.
