Dr. Ahmed Al-Awadhi, the Minister of Health, unveiled plans for the forthcoming Kuwait Cancer Control Center during a press conference yesterday. This state-of-the-art facility in the Al-Sabah Health District is poised to be equipped with cutting-edge international devices, including groundbreaking technology described as “the first of its kind in the Middle East.”
The announcement coincided with the inauguration of the inaugural forum of the Kuwaiti Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, attracting widespread attention from local, Gulf, and international participants.

During his address, Minister Al-Awadhi highlighted the prevalence of lymphoma diseases, constituting a significant proportion of leukemia cases in Kuwait. He reiterated the Ministry’s dedication to prioritizing cancer treatment, including cutting-edge therapies like immunotherapy, and emphasized the need for continuous improvement in healthcare infrastructure and service delivery.
The forum, designed as an educational platform for healthcare professionals and patients alike, features an array of lectures, workshops, and discussions led by experts from various countries. Topics of discussion include first-line treatments for lymphoma, molecular nuclear scanning, leukemia diagnosis and treatment, plasma cell disorders, and advancements in cellular therapies.
Dr. Abdul Aziz Hamada, Head of the Hematology Department at the Kuwait Cancer Control Center and President of the Kuwait Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, emphasized the collaborative nature of the forum, bringing together medical professionals and patients to exchange knowledge and experiences.
Dr. Fatima Khadada, a specialist in hematology and head of the forum, emphasized the forum’s focus on holistic care, integrating medical knowledge with psychological and nutritional support for patients.
Abdulaziz Al-Marzouq, a Kuwait Leukemia and Lymphoma Society board member, outlined the society’s objectives, including raising awareness about blood cancer, improving healthcare quality, and fostering support programs for patients and their families.
The Kuwait Cancer Control Center, established in 1968, stands as a beacon of hope for cancer patients in Kuwait. Comprising specialized surgery, oncology, and diagnostic radiology units, the center is staffed by over 600 highly qualified professionals and equipped with state-of-the-art medical facilities.
As Kuwait continues to invest in cutting-edge healthcare infrastructure and innovative treatments, the new Cancer Control Center heralds a new era in cancer care, promising hope and healing for patients across the nation.
