MOH Wants To Direct Expats To Private Clinics

 
 
 

According to the Ministry of Health, Kuwaitis will eventually only be able to access government clinics and hospitals. All expatriate patients will soon be treated by the Health Assurance Hospitals Company (Dhaman), rather than government clinics and hospitals. 

According to reports in the local media, the first agreement calls for the Dhaman center to receive all private sector workers next year and the ministry of health to only accept expatriates working in the government sector at first. However, in the future, they will no longer be treated at government hospitals but at Dhaman hospitals instead.

Currently, the Jaber Hospital is only available to Kuwaitis, and the new Jahra Hospital and the new Farwaniya Hospital will also be limited to Kuwaitis. Eventually, Amiri Hospital and Sabah Hospital will be included.

Expats with serious health conditions or who have been in accidents can, however, receive treatment at government hospitals since these are urgent medical emergencies.
