New Health Insurance System For Expats After Signing Contract With Hic

Minister of Health Dr Jamal Al-Harbi affirmed that the new system of health insurance for expatriates will not be implemented until the contract with the Health Insurance Company (HIC) is signed. He explained that private health centers and hospitals will be activated to receive and treat expatriates after the contract with Health Insurance Company is signed.

The health insurance policy will cover health services offered to expatriates who work in the private sector. On the other hand, expatriates who work in the ministries, domestic workers and women married to Kuwaitis will receive medical services and treatment in public hospitals and health centers.
