Having transformed Bahrain’s medical scene with its innovative approach to integrating traditional and modern medicine, Alkem Health and Wellness Centre continues to grow with the appointment of general practitioner, Dr. Alaa Al Jassas. In this interview with Woman This Month, she shares her passion for elevating women’s health, particularly with skincare and IV therapy.
From an early age, Dr. Al Jassas knew that medicine was her calling. “I’ve always been fascinated by the human body and how medical science can enhance lives,” she says. “Women’s health became my focus because I’m driven to empower women to take charge of their well-being.” Her commitment to providing personalised, compassionate care makes her a strong advocate for women at all life stages.
Dr. Al Jassas was attracted to Alkem, which is an NHRA-licensed medical centre in City Centre Bahrain, when she realised that its philosophy closely aligned with her own. “What drew me to Alkem was the opportunity to address more than just physical symptoms. Here, I can connect with patients on a deeper level, considering their physical, emotional and mental health,” she explains. “It’s rewarding to work with a team that values a holistic approach, which is essential for truly patient-centred care.”
A significant part of her work involves IV therapy, a treatment growing in popularity for its rapid benefits. “IV therapy allows nutrients to be delivered directly into the bloodstream, promoting faster absorption and immediate effects. For women, this can mean boosted energy, enhanced immune support and improved skin and hair,” Dr. Al Jassas says. Treatments such as Vitamin IVs, NAD therapy and Glutathione IVs are some of the options at Alkem, addressing everything from skin brightness to anti-aging benefits.
Skin health is another priority for Dr. Al Jassas, who frequently encounters common concerns like sun damage and hyperpigmentation. “In this region, many patients struggle with uneven skin tone due to environmental factors. I’ve found that IV therapies, especially those containing Glutathione, effectively brighten skin and reduce pigmentation. With a personalised treatment plan, patients can see a noticeable improvement,” she says.
Dr. Al Jassas encourages women in Bahrain to make their health a priority. “At Alkem, we offer a variety of services designed to support you, from bespoke IV therapies and fat-burning injections to aesthetic treatments. We also provide naturopathic medicine, chiropractic care and nutritional advice,” she shares.
For those embarking on their wellness journey, Dr. Al Jassas assures: “Whether you’re looking to manage stress, enhance your health, or simply maintain well-being, I’m here to guide you. At Alkem, your health is our priority, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.”
