India and Bahrain are set to sign an agreement aimed at boosting healthcare provision in the Gulf state.

India's Minister of State for External Affairs E. Ahamed said that a memorandum of understanding (MoU) would be signed between the two countries soon.

The Mou will establish guidelines for recruiting doctors and nurses from India to Bahrain and encourage Bahrain’s health ministry to benefit from India’s surgical facilities of international standard, he added.

According to Ahamed, under the terms of the proposed agreement, imports of drugs, pharmaceutical products and medical equipment from India to Bahrain will also see an increase, Thaindian News reported on Tuesday.

“We are ready to share the expertise of our world-class training institutes with Bahrain,” Ahamed said.

Bahrain is home to around 290,000 expatriate Indians.
