RCSI-MUB:
The Medical University of Bahrain (MUB), a constituent of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RSCI), has signed a Public Relations agreement with FP7 Bahrain to handle its communications plan and activities.

RCSI-MUB, officially opened in Bahrain in October 2004 in the Seef District, provides healthcare education and training to world standards in Bahrain, drawing students from Bahrain, India, Italy, Kuwait, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, United States of America and Yemen.

In March 2006, the foundation stone for the new RCSI-MUB campus in Muharraq has been jointly laid by His Highness the Prime Minister Shaikh Khalifa bin Salman Al-Khalifa and the Deputy Prime Minister of Ireland, Mary Harney.

The University's new BD 10-plus million campus will occupy an area of 90,000sqm and will be built in phases starting with the central administration and medical teaching building and student accommodation which should be fully operational by October 2007.

Other schools in the fields of nursing, pharmacy, physiotherapy and dentistry will be added to the campus at a later phase.
