As a foreigner living in Hawalli, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Hawalli if they have access to public healthcare in Hawalli. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...

"As a foreigner living in Hawalli, you will have access to public healthcare, but it is important to note that the public healthcare system in Kuwait is primarily designed for Kuwaiti citizens. Expatriates are required to pay an annual health insurance fee, which allows them access to public healthcare services at a subsidized cost. However, the public healthcare system in Kuwait can be crowded, and waiting times for appointments and treatments can be long. Additionally, the quality of care and facilities may not be up to the standards you are used to in your home country. Many expatriates in Kuwait choose to use private healthcare facilities, which offer a higher standard of care and shorter waiting times, but at a higher cost. It is recommended to have comprehensive private health insurance to cover the costs of private healthcare in Kuwait," commented one expat who made the move to Hawalli, Kuwait.
