Salmaniya Medical Complex (Arabic: مجمع السلمانية الطبي) is a public hospital situated in the Salmaniya district of Manama in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Established in 1957 and having a bed capacity of approximately 1,200 beds, it is the largest tertiary hospital in the country.[1] The hospital provides secondary, tertiary, and emergency healthcare services as well as specialised outpatient clinics for the general public.[2] Residency programs in the hospital are either Arab Board or Saudi Board certified.[3]

The hospital receives an average of 900 to 1,000 patients a day and employs more than 2,000 physicians, nurses and workers.[1] Bahrain's main morgue is situated in the complex.[1] Salmaniya's emergency department receives more than 300,000 patients per year.[4] The emergency department follows the Manchester Triage System and is Arab Board certified, amongst other residency programs.[4]
