This study looks at Bahraini healthcare providers’ digital health competencies and how they contribute to the development of sustainable healthcare. Healthcare is now more accessible, efficient, and of higher quality thanks to the integration of technology like telemedicine, electronic health records, artificial intelligence, and mobile health applications (Chen, Lehmann, and Malin, 2024; Iyengar et al., 2025; Mesko et al., 2025). However, the competencies of healthcare providers are necessary for effective utilization. A structured questionnaire based on established competency frameworks, such as ICT skills, communication, ethics, and data-driven decision-making, was used in a quantitative cross-sectional design (Nazeha et al., 2020; Ferreira et al., 2025). The results show moderate levels of competency, with significant deficiencies in sophisticated digital communication and analyticalabilities. Workforce preparedness is still inconsistent in Bahrain despite the country’s robust digital infrastructure (Alotaibi, Wilson, and Traynor, 2025). Enhancing healthcare quality, patient safety, and sustainability requires strengthening digital competencies through organized training and policy alignment. The report supports Bahrain Vision 2030 aligned workforce development policies.
