Themed “Because You Are Important”, the drive is in support of Team Bahrain’s efforts, led by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Prime Minister, to combat the disease and protect psychological and economic stability in Bahrain.

The Capital Governor gave the go-ahead for the campaign remotely, in the presence of Bahrain Islamic Bank (BiB) CEO Hassan Jarrar and other experts, in addition to the organisers. He stressed the importance of protecting citizens and residents’ psychological safety and empowering them to deal with crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, which has a heavy toll on societies and peoples worldwide.

The Capital Governor underlined the need to harness all efforts to prepare for the post-COVID-19 time, and hailed the efforts of people in charge of the campaign, which seeks to achieve noble humanitarian goals.
