Kpc Spent Kd 18.3 Mln On Treatment Of Expat Workers In Oil Sector
Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) and its subsidiaries reportedly spent KD 18.3 million on the treatment of expatriate workers in oil sector and their families at Ahmadi Hospital for fiscal year 2017/2018, and the cost of treating expatriates in the sector within the last five years reached KD 95 million, reports Al-Anba daily.
