Dr. Fatima Al-Sayed

Dr. Fatima Al-Sayed is a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist at Bahrain Specialist Hospital — one of Bahrain's leading private hospitals offering comprehensive women's healthcare. With 15 years of clinical experience, she is one of Bahrain's most established obstetricians, managing a high-volume practice that combines complex obstetrics with comprehensive outpatient gynaecology.

Bahrain is a small island nation with a well-developed private healthcare sector, and Dr. Al-Sayed practises within this environment serving both Bahraini nationals and the large expatriate population — which constitutes roughly half of Bahrain's residents and comes from South Asia, the Philippines, and the Arab world.

Dr. Al-Sayed trained in the UK and holds the MRCOG (Member of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists) — the gold standard British qualification in obstetrics and gynaecology — reflecting her commitment to international evidence-based standards. She returned to Bahrain after training to serve her home country's women's health needs.

Her clinical practice covers the full spectrum of obstetrics and gynaecology, with particular interest in high-risk pregnancy, laparoscopic surgery, and reproductive medicine.

Dr. Al-Sayed completed her MBBS at a Bahraini medical school and undertook her obstetrics and gynaecology specialty training in the United Kingdom through the RCOG training programme. She passed the MRCOG examination — the rigorous written and clinical assessment of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in London — and completed her certificate of completion of training (CCT) at a UK NHS teaching hospital. She holds the Arab Board certification in Obstetrics and Gynecology and has completed advanced training in laparoscopic surgery and reproductive medicine.

Dr. Al-Sayed's obstetric practice covers high-risk pregnancy management including gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders, multiple pregnancies, and foetal growth restriction. She performs normal vaginal deliveries, operative deliveries (forceps, ventouse), and elective and emergency caesarean sections.

In gynaecological surgery, she performs laparoscopic procedures for endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and ectopic pregnancy, and hysteroscopic surgery for uterine pathology. She performs colposcopy for cervical abnormality management and provides comprehensive antenatal care including foetal anomaly scanning.

For reproductive medicine, she provides fertility assessment and management of PCOS and endometriosis affecting fertility, and coordinates IUI and IVF referrals for couples requiring assisted conception.

Bahrain's small geographic size and central Gulf location make it accessible for medical tourism from across the GCC. Dr. Al-Sayed manages patients from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar who travel to Bahrain for gynaecological consultations and procedures. She consults in Arabic and English. Bahrain Specialist Hospital provides international patient services for non-Bahraini patients. Bahrain offers high-quality women's healthcare at competitive GCC prices.

Dr. Al-Sayed is a Member of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (MRCOG, London) — the international gold standard in obstetrics and gynaecology. She has been recognised by Bahrain Specialist Hospital for her clinical contributions to women's health services. She contributes to the Bahrain Medical Society's continuing education programmes for obstetrics and gynaecology.
