The official date of Bahrain’s independence is Dec. 16, 1971.
"Congratulations to all the people of Bahrain on this momentous occasion. We celebrate your pride and accomplishments over the last 50 years," says Mohamad Bydon, M.D., a neurosurgeon and Mayo Clinic executive medical director of academic affairs and the Europe, Middle East, India and Africa regions. "We're pleased to continue to share with you the goal of improving health for all."
