Healthcare in Kuwait

Kuwait has a state-funded healthcare system, which provides treatment without charge to holders of a Kuwaiti passport.

A public insurance scheme exists to provide healthcare to non-citizens.

Private healthcare providers also run medical facilities in the country, available to members of their insurance schemes.
