Bahrain: SIO’s Electronic System to Be Temporarily Suspended From Jan. 19 to Feb. 3
The Social Insurance Organisation (SIO) has announced that its electronic system will be suspended between January 19 and February 3, to ensure the smooth transition to the new electronic system “Taminat” on February 4th.
