Pre-Marriage Screening (Bahrain)

Overview:

This Bahrain Pre-Marriage Screening package includes all the essential blood tests required before marriage in Bahrain. Designed for convenience and peace of mind, it screens for infectious diseases, genetic conditions, and overall health markers.

Included Blood Tests:

1. STI test: HIV 1/2, Hepatitis B (HBsAg), Hepatitis C (HCV-ab), Syphilis
2. Haemoglobin electrophoresis: Detects sickle cell anaemia and thalassaemia
3. Full Blood Count
4. G6PD Deficiency
5. Rubella antibodies (IgG)
6. Blood group (ABO) and Rhesus type (D positive or negative)

Why Choose This Test?

Pre-marriage screening is required by Bahraini authorities to help identify serious inheritable conditions and prevent future health risks for children. Sickle cell, thalassaemia, and G6PD deficiency are all passed genetically. Early detection empowers couples to make informed family planning decisions.

Carriers of sickle cell or beta thalassaemia may be healthy, but if both partners are carriers, there's a 1 in 4 chance their child will inherit the disease. Early detection helps couples make informed decisions and avoid future complications. This test is required by many countries, including Saudi Arabia, to protect future generations.

Please note that having alpha thalassaemia does not give any major medical problems.
