Medical Facilities

Kuwait medical facilitiesOverall Kuwait has a good standard of healthcare. The Ministry of Public Health regulates both private health and government facilities and English is spoken at both.

When you first arrive in Kuwait you will be here as a visitor (awaiting your permanent residency) but you may go either to public or private hospitals where you will have to pay the full costs for your treatment unless you have travel or private insurance which covers your condition. However, you must present some form of ID such as a passport or driving license.

Once you have obtained your Civil ID and government Health Card, you will need to present these before treatment. There are local public Clinics in every residential area next to the local Co-op. The signage is generally in Arabic only but you will see the crescent and serpent symbol at the entrance. It is worth taking note of their working hours and telephone number. Kuwait also has government general hospitals which offer emergency treatment as well as in- and out-patient services.
