Kuwait Tightens Disease Screening for New Arrivals
KUWAIT CITY, June 11: Assistant Undersecretary for Public Health Affairs at the Ministry of Health, Dr. Munther Al-Hasawi, affirmed on Tuesday that the State of Kuwait applies a precise and comprehensive health control system aimed at preventing the spread of infectious diseases. In a press statement, Dr. Al-Hasawi explained that the Ministry's preventive measures begin even before individuals enter the country. This includes mandatory medical examinations at approved health centers abroad, with the results verified by Kuwaiti consulates or embassies. He noted that undergoing this medical examination abroad is a condition for issuing visas to expatriates wishing to work in Kuwait. Upon arrival in the country, the medical examination is repeated to obtain the health fitness certificate required for issuing residency permits. Dr. Al-Hasawi emphasized that the health tests are not limited to HIV but also include other diseases such as hepatitis B and C, tuberculosis, and, depending on the country of origin, diseases like malaria and filariasis. These efforts fall within the Ministry of Health's broader goal of safeguarding public health. He added that certain job categories are subject to periodic medical examinations, including individuals working in food preparation and handling, salons, health institutes, laundries, and other occupations requiring specific health standards. Dr. Al-Hasawi further stressed that the Ministry of Health continuously monitors global infectious disease trends and updates the list of countries whose citizens must undergo medical screening upon their return to Kuwait. These actions are part of the Ministry's ongoing efforts to protect public safety and strengthen health control measures.
