Welcometo this month's issue of Bahrain

This Month, which touches upon on health, pet care and celebrating dads. We have a jampacked issue full of exciting features, exclusive interviews and captivating stories.

The month of June marks a number of days dedicated to health. Our feature story this month is a fascinating interview with Mariam Al Jalahma, who sheds light on the state of Bahrain's health sector. You can also read more about Al Malaki Hospital, the only premium hospital in the region with a 4.9star rating on Google.

Learn about the Bahrain Animal Rescue Centre (BARC), which helps animals in need. We chat to three of its volunteers about their amazing work. We also focus on the Bahrain Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BSPCA) which is another shelter in need of aid. Mahmood Faraj, its chairman, tells us more.

Our events section is sure to keep you busy with a range of activities including concerts, art classes, great parties and even a Baby Olympics!

In our motoring section, we explore the Mercedes Benz EQB and discover why our motoring writer, Kristian Harrison finds this car so electrifying.

We also chat with HE Yasser Mohammed Ahmed Shaban, the Egyptian Ambassador to Bahrain, about the ties between the two countries.

Yagoob Alrayes shares his tips on the importance of cyber safety in an AI-driven world. Pria Masson delves into PAAS – the online payment gateway that has helped to facilitate electronic payments around the world and for foodies, we review the fabulous Tarbouesh. In Woman This Month, we speak to harpist Silvia Saad about how she got into music. Get inspired by Françoise Salameh and how she changed her life at 50. You can too!

Our opinion section has some thoughtprovoking pieces from Ouaim El Hassani on why chill time for kids is crucial, from Farrah Saville on the importance of female friendships, and renowned Portfolio Management Professional (PfMP) and Accredited Chartered Manager (CMI) Eman Deabil shares her take on project management offices in Bahrain and why they’re so essential.

And, as we go into summer months, if you’re looking for an escape why not go down south all the way to South Africa? Take a look at our travel section for insider tips on how to enjoy this vast country where you can enjoy safari, sun and sea.

Remember, you can explore Your Guide to a Great Way of Life online by visiting www. bahrainthismonth.com or follow our social platforms. Finally, at the end of last month, Micky Jagtiani, my close friend for over 40 years passed away in Dubai after a long illness. Apart from being one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the region, what really set him apart was his inherent kindness and compassion, generosity of spirit, resilience and humility. He was also a visionary leader, with a deep passion for making a difference in the world, who left a lasting legacy.
