Around 10,000 nurses will receive an average increase of 50 KD as a result of the Ministry of Health reclassifying the nature of work allowance for nurses into two categories A and B, rather than the existing three.

The Ministry of Health confirmed in a press release that this reclassification will result in an increase in the nature of work allowance for its beneficiaries by an average of 50 dinars per month. Approximately 10,000 nurses will be affected by this, including 697 Kuwaiti nurses and 7,902 non-Kuwaiti nurses.
