Axis by axis
rubric value 1–5 · ? could not verify (no points, not a negative finding) · — not applicable: this country has no register of that class · OFF official register · SEC secondary source
| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises. NHRA licence register: Category Consultant, Specialty Plastic Surgery, listed at this facility. [nhra_hcp] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Two surgeons named with their specialty in the doctors directory. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Matched by name in the current monthly licence list; licence numbers 11020436 and 11001739. [nhra_hcp] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. Facility record found: name, address and status Active match. [nhra_hcf] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability Only a brand, without a legal form and without a responsible person. Whatever we find ourselves is shown on the profile as a fact and does not raise this cell. The clinic publishes a trading name only: no legal form and no commercial registration number appear on any page loaded (https://www.royalbahrainhospital.com/ , /about-us , /doctors , /contact-us). Re-probed 2026-09-20 with both user agents. POST https://api.sijilat.bh/api/CRdetails/AdvanceSearchCR_Paging (no Authorization header) returns HTTP 401 {"Message":"Authorization has been denied for this request."} to a Chrome UA and to a short tool UA alike, and the public ASPX pages render no company rows server-side, so no CR record can be read. Secondary routes searched and none found (OpenCorporates 403 / token-gated, Dun & Bradstreet 403, Zawya 404, BCCI and bahrainbusinessdirectory unreachable). Scored on the v1.2 ladder from the clinic's own pages instead. read via browser [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Accreditations named without registration or licence numbers. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty Systematic superlatives; systematic safety promises without an absolute; absolutes about the past (success rates, “no infection since …”, satisfaction figures, “we guarantee your satisfaction”); comparisons with surgery. Superlatives without an issuer recur across page titles and department text. [site] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 17 September 2026 — language links found (ar:200) but no distinct second front The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-20 |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. Aftercare information and a complaints channel published; no consent, risk or revision document found. [site] |

Score ceilings

No hold on this profile.
Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.

| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site] |

What we could not verify
- M8 · Cross-locale consistency — Single language front
These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.
