Bahrain Mirror (Exclusive): The King of Bahrain honored on Thursday (December 16, 2021) 51 individuals who received the "Prince Salman bin Hamad Medal for Medical Merit", who reached 15,811 individuals.

It was remarkable that 18 of the honorees belong to the ruling family, which constitutes 35% of the honorees, mainly the Crown Prince and the king's sons; Nasser and Khalid, as well as the sons of Crown Prince; Isa and Mohamad, despite the fact that they assume official posts in the government.

Honored Shiites were only 7, which constitutes 14% of the honorees, noting that the percentage of the honored Sunnis, who don't belong to the ruling family, is 51.
