4 Medical Centers Shut Down Ahead of Staff Referral to Public Prosecution: Kuwaiti health authorities have ordered the immediate closure of four medical centers as part of preparations to refer their staff to the Public Prosecution Office.
The drastic measure follows investigations into alleged violations of medical regulations and operational standards at these facilities.
“The closures are a necessary step to preserve public health safety while legal proceedings move forward,” stated an official from the Ministry of Health. While the specific violations haven’t been disclosed, sources suggest they involve serious breaches of medical protocols, potentially endangering patient welfare.
This crackdown comes as Kuwait intensifies oversight of its healthcare sector, with inspectors conducting surprise visits to clinics nationwide.
The affected centers will remain closed indefinitely pending the outcome of judicial reviews, leaving patients to seek alternative treatment options at authorized facilities. Health officials confirm more inspections are planned across both public and private medical institutions.
