good news and hope no one will need this
This is very good news, it is a very ‘Humane’ gesture and one that should be appreciated greatly. This will definitely remove a lot of pain from expatriates burdened with cancer.
Thank you Kuwait!
This is awesome, and I do agree with vampire I hope nobody or atleast not much would need it anyway, cancer’s a pretty strong disease, very stressful.
I’m no expat but I feel happy as if the news was for me … now lemme see how many expats complain about the country.
Great News! Thank you Kuwait!
Good bless the Al-Sabah and the government. Thank God we are in a country called Kuwait.
Thank you Kuwait Govt and the ruling family
I’m an expat and i underwent cancer treatment in Kuwait 2 years ago and i didn’t pay a single fils for diagnosis and treatment! This isn’t new. Only certain tests were about 10 kd and some doctors even waivered that.
No where in the world would I have received such top notch treatment for free…not even in my own country.
As far as I remember it’s always been free! Cancer treatment: hospital stay, tests, drugs, surgeries, rehabilitation all were free to all residents of Kuwait (Kuwaities and non Kuwaities).
Hey friends, plz help me. I’m so scared that I have one small wound in my dow lip. It’s two weeks now. I want to see doctor to check it. Tell me which is the best hospital in Kuwait and what are the procedures.
