The application for the Kuwaiti work visa requires a written medical report as well as a number of tests. It will more than likely be organised through your employer's PRO, and they will give you details of the relevant medical center or clinic you need to visit to conduct your medical. If this isn't the case, you can have a visa medical through your personal GP or doctors clinic.
You will need to take with you your original passport to prove your identity and a passport size photograph.
