AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

MoH Winter Readiness: Kuwait’s Ministry of Health ran a training push for nursing staff in Hawally to strengthen prevention and care ahead of seasonal respiratory illnesses, including RSV and the use of monoclonal antibodies from last season. Private Clinic Crackdown: The MoH cancelled a private clinic’s license after inspections found it was effectively subleased and run by other parties, with violations tied to health licensing rules. CAPT Health Tenders: Ten MoH contracts are still waiting for bid openings at CAPT, covering upgrades for integrated healthcare systems, Kuwait Cancer Center works, automated labs/sterilization, and refrigerated medicine trucks. Outdoor Heat Safety: With the midday outdoor work ban ended, the Manpower authority and a labor welfare consultant urged employers to protect outdoor workers from heat stress risks like dehydration and heat stroke. Suicide Prevention Focus: Kuwait marked Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, citing a drop in recorded suicide/attempt cases in early 2026 versus 2025, while highlighting the need for open mental health conversations. Health & Safety Enforcement: Kuwait also closed four private clinics over licensing violations, including unauthorized third-party investment and operation. Regional Conflict Health Impact: Iran reported civilian deaths and injuries from a reported US strike on a wedding, while Kuwait faced missile/drone alerts—raising renewed concerns about civilian harm and emergency preparedness.
