Moh Notified Panels On Agreeing To Include Housewives In The Retiree Health Insurance Scheme

Ministry of Health at a recent meeting notified the Parliamentary Committee on Health, Social and Labor Affairs that it agrees in principle on including housewives in the retiree health insurance scheme (AFIA).

Member of the committee MP Khalid Al-Otaibi said the ministry affirmed the need to provide a database containing the exact number of housewives to determine specific cost of the scheme before approval. He said the meeting agreed to conclude discussion on the issue after providing the number of housewives plus other information required for that purpose. He indicated the committee stopped deliberation on the responsibility of medical practitioners concerning medical errors and decided to invite Kuwait Medical Association next Sunday to conclude the discussion.

He stressed the committee agreed to include certain issues on the agenda of its next meeting, such as medicines the Ministry of Health distributed to hospitals that did not meet specifications, shortage of some important medicines in hospitals, and some nurses in hospitals and health centers refusing to use Vitamin D urinals because they’re grizzled and contained some sediments.
