‘Thirst-Quenchers' Summer Awareness Campaign set
The Indian Community Relief Fund (ICRF) Bahrain is set to launch its 10th annual Summer Awareness campaign, 'Thirst-Quenchers,' tomorrow. The initiative is in alignment with the Ministry of Labour's efforts to promote safe and healthy working conditions during the peak summer months starting mid-June. The primary objective of the campaign is to raise awareness about heat-related health risks and ensure hydration among outdoor workers who are most vulnerable to Bahrain's extreme summer temperatures. Volunteers will distribute bottled water, laban, juice, and fresh fruits directly to workers at various worksites across the Kingdom. Marking a decade of impactful outreach, the Thirst-Quenchers campaign has consistently conducted weekly visits to different worksites over a 12-week period each summer. This year's program continues with strong backing from key authorities, including the Ministries of Labour and Interior.

Bahrain Celebrates Eye Surgical Breakthrough
TDT | Manama A cutting-edge eye surgery has opened a new chapter in Bahrain's medical history, with the successful implantation of the country's first Preserflo MicroShunt, a device transforming the treatment of glaucoma. The milestone procedure was performed by Dr. Ahmed AlMeer, a Bahraini eye surgeon who recently returned from Canada after completing advanced training. Conducted at Dr. Haifa Eye Hospital, the surgery marks Bahrain's entry into a global shift towards safer and less invasive glaucoma treatments. Dr. AlMeer said he felt confident as he held the tiny Preserflo device in his hands, aware of the significance of the moment. 'I had already performed this surgery many times abroad, so I felt well-prepared. What I felt more than pressure was a deep sense of responsibility,' he said. Glaucoma, a chronic eye disease that can lead to irreversible blindness, is traditionally treated with trabeculectomy, a procedure that involves creating a larger drainage opening in the eye. This method often results in longer recovery times and increased risk of complications. The Preserflo MicroShunt, however, is a minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) device just 8.5 mm in length. It creates a controlled outflow for fluid, reducing intraocular pressure with minimal disruption to the eye's anatomy. According to Dr. AlMeer, this translates to quicker healing, fewer complications, and better comfort for patients.
