A national institutional reference for the specialty
The Bahrain Association of Plastic Surgery brings together plastic and reconstructive surgeons practising in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Formally activated for the 2026–2027 term under the umbrella of the Bahrain Medical Society, the Association exists to advance the specialty, entrench professional ethics, enhance patient safety, support education and research, and represent Bahrain regionally and internationally.
“The value of the Association lies not in the number of its events, but in its scientific, professional, and community impact, and in the sustainability of that impact beyond the administrative term.”

Make safe, informed decisions
Plastic surgery is a regulated medical specialty, not a commodity. Before any procedure, you have the right to know who is operating on you, what their licence covers, and what the realistic outcomes and risks are.
- Verify your surgeon is NHRA-licensed for plastic surgery
- Understand the procedure, alternatives and recovery
- Know the real risks and complication rates
- Insist on proper informed consent and documentation
5,009 questions. 15 subspecialties. Your CME, tracked.
The Academy is the Association’s digital learning platform. Members work through a peer-reviewed question bank covering the full breadth of plastic and reconstructive surgery, every question with a full explanation and journal references. Activity is tracked by category, question count and time, and converts into a printable CME certificate for the current year.

A letter from the President
Dear Colleagues,
The Bahrain Association of Plastic Surgery exists to be more than a calendar of events. Our purpose is to become a national institutional reference that advances the specialty, entrenches professional ethics, enhances patient safety, supports education and research, and represents the Kingdom of Bahrain regionally and internationally.
The value of the Association lies not in the number of its events, but in its scientific, professional and community impact, and in the sustainability of that impact beyond the administrative term.
I invite every plastic and reconstructive surgeon in the Kingdom to take part in that work.
