Kidney patients top list as 557 waiting for transplant
KUWAIT CITY, Aug 13 : Dr. Turki Al- Otaibi, head of Kuwait Center for Organ Diseases and Transplantation, has unveiled preparations for the first lung transplant in the country by the end of this year at the Chest Diseases Hospital. Al-Otaibi announced in a special interview on Kuwait TV on the occasion of World Organ Transplantation Day, which falls on Aug 13 of each year. He affirmed that Kuwait focuses on developing and updating organ transplant programs of various types -- kidney, heart, pancreas, liver and other existing and emerging programs. He said the problem of organ shortage is one of the most difficult global and local challenges. 'Although around 158,000 organ transplants were performed worldwide in 2022; this does not exceed 10 percent of the number of patients on the waiting lists,' he added. He stated that 557 patients in Kuwait are on the organ transplant waiting list -- 500 kidney transplant patients, 30 liver transplant patients, 15 pancreas transplant patients, five combined pancreas-kidney transplant patients, and seven heart transplant patients. He stressed that the State of Kuwait, represented by the Ministry of Health, is committed to developing and modernizing the infrastructure for organ transplant programs and raising awareness on the importance of posthumous organ donation. He revealed that the number of posthumous organ donation card holders in Kuwait is around 15,000; clarifying the card is like a will that requires two fully qualified witnesses. He stated that only one percent of these individuals are eligible to donate organs posthumously, as donation requires brain death, not cardiac death. He emphasized the need for concerted efforts to increase the availability of donation cards and raise awareness on the importance in saving patients' lives. He pointed out that there are several organ transplant programs in the country; some of which are fully operational, while others are suspended or under preparation. He added that the kidney transplant program, established in 1979, is one of the oldest programs in the Middle East. He stated that during the past year, 149 kidney transplants were performed, including 76 brain-dead organ donations, all of which were successful. He said that Kuwait also has heart and pancreas transplant programs. The first heart transplant in the country was performed in 2019, and since then, seven successful heart transplants have been performed. 'The first pancreas transplant was performed in 2007, after which the program was suspended and resumed in 2023 with a combined pancreas and kidney transplant,' he revealed. Regarding suspended programs, Al-Otaibi disclosed that the liver transplant program was launched in 2020; and the first liver transplant was performed during the COVID-19 crisis. 'However, the program was halted for organizational and administrative reasons,' he explained.

Expert urges caution as rising humidity triggers respiratory issues
Doctor advises people with asthma, allergies to stay in air-conditioned spaces KUWAIT: As Kuwait experiences a combination of humid and dusty weather, a health expert warns that these conditions can significantly worsen respiratory illnesses such as asthma and allergies. Northern winds often bring dust storms typical of Kuwait's desert environment, while rising humidity levels add another layer of challenge for vulnerable individuals. 'Humid air is heavy on the respiratory system because it's saturated with water, making breathing more difficult,' Dr Abdullah Al-Mutairi, a consultant in respiratory diseases and intensive care, told KTV news channel. When moisture fills the air, tiny particles that usually settle on the ground become airborne, aggravating symptoms for allergy sufferers. Dust also plays a major role in triggering breathing problems, he explained. 'The current weather is humid and hot, which irritates the respiratory system, especially for those with allergies or asthma,' said Dr Al-Mutairi. 'People should monitor air quality and avoid going outside when it's poor. Staying indoors in air-conditioned, enclosed spaces is much safer for them.' People living with asthma and allergies shared their coping strategies with KTV, emphasizing the importance of staying indoors and carrying necessary medications. 'If you must go out, wear a mask and carry your medicines,' advised one participant. Another warned, 'Avoid sudden changes between humid outdoor air and cold air-conditioning.' Dr Al-Mutairi also addressed concerns about post-COVID-19 respiratory sensitivity. 'Severe viral infections like COVID-19 can cause individuals who never had respiratory issues to develop allergies afterward,' he said. He cautioned against the misuse of inhalers, noting they're not typically appropriate treatments for common colds or the flu. Patients with moderate to severe asthma often experience symptoms daily or several times a week and require regular use of preventive inhalers to protect their respiratory system from external irritants. 'For mild asthma, symptoms usually occur during viral infections or extreme weather, and inhalers may only be needed during those times,' he explained. The duration of inhaler use varies depending on the patient's severity and response, ranging from a few days to several weeks. Importantly, he clarified that not every wheezing episode indicates asthma. Wheezing can also result from sinus infections or other viral illnesses, and inhalers are not prescribed in all cases.
