AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoBariatric safety overhaul: Kuwait’s Ministry of Health issued a ministerial decree tightening rules for bariatric and metabolic surgery, including patient selection, facility standards, follow-up, and outcome monitoring, with no fixed upper age limit and eligibility based on overall health; it also sets standards for non-surgical options like gastric balloons and endoscopic sleeve procedures. Surgical oversight upgrade: A separate MoH decree regulates surgical procedures and medical interventions in public and private hospitals, linking doctors’ powers to specialization and privileges, requiring informed consent, team disclosure, and stronger supervision plus post-op care documentation. AI in healthcare, with guardrails: MoH approved a practical guide for using AI language tools and large language models, stressing that AI outputs are supplementary only and banning staff from entering or uploading patient identifiers or confidential medical data into unapproved platforms. Emergency readiness boost: The Kuwait Emergency Response Fund reached KD 75.37 million from 68 public and private entities, supporting rapid response capacity and prompting technical reviews of new requests from key ministries. Public health enforcement: Food safety inspectors in Farwaniya issued violation reports and ordered destruction of 173kg of unfit food. Air quality alert: Kuwait City was among the more polluted spots regionally, with an AQI reading reported at 169, classified as “unhealthy for sensitive groups.”
