Opening Of Western Sabahiya Healthcare Center To Benefit 80,000 Citizens

Minister of Health, Dr. Khaled Al-Saeed confirmed the availability of vaccines against the “Corona” virus and called on everyone to cooperate to overcome the current high wave of infections saying the medical staff in hospitals and health centers is exerting great efforts to limit the infections to the minimum.

Speaking to media on the sidelines of the opening of the Al-Sabahiya West clinic yesterday, in the presence of MPs Dr. Muhammad Al-Huwaila and Hamdan Al-Azmi, Al-Saeed congratulated the residents of Al-Sabahiya on the opening of the second health center in the region, saying more than 80,000 Kuwaitis live in Al-Sabahiya and “we hope that the center will provide them with the best service,” reports Al-Rai Arabic daily.

He added development of the healthcare system in Kuwait runs parallel with the development of primary care, which is caring for the patient in his/her area before it gets worse, and in the shortest possible time, noting that “the development of buildings is only part of the system, but the most important in the system is the human factor in the health institution.”

Al-Saeed pointed out that the medical and technical staff at the center are given directives to provide everything within their capacity to serve the people of Sabahiya and thanked the MPs for their keenness and their permanent recommendation to complete this project and projects that serve citizens throughout Kuwait.

He went on to say, “It is very necessary, at this juncture of the pandemic, to remind my brothers in the medical staff in hospitals and health centers, who are making a great effort in this unprecedented high wave, in light of the high number of cases that exceeded 5,000 per day, which is more than double. The cases that we had during (Delta), but with their efforts and blessings from God, we will get out of this wave, but we need everyone’s support, by adhering to health requirements and supporting the health system.”

MP Dr. Muhammad Al-Huwaila, in statements to Al-Rai, stressed the importance of supporting the health system in modern primary care centers, so that it can meet the needs of residents of residential areas.

He added, “We hope to finish equipping the Abu Fatira clinic, and we ask the Minister of Health to expedite its opening, in order to reduce the burden on other clinics,” noting that “the southern region and the Ahmadi and Mubarak Al-Kabeer governorates need a new hospital to support the Al-Adan Hospital, due to population density, as well as an increase in urban expansion towards the southern region, and we are always supportive of any efforts made in this direction.”

MP Hamdan Al-Azmi said the people of Sabahiya are blessed with the opening of the center, which “has been disrupted for a long time due to obstacles that have at last been removed, and we thank the Minister of Health, and we followed-up with him about this center, to expedite the opening of the clinic to serve the people of Sabahiya.”

Ahmad Al-Shatti, Director of Al-Ahmadi Health District, said that the center serves about 80,000 people in blocks 2 and 3. He added that the health center is the 31st at the level of the health district, which covers a large part of the Ahmadi and Mubarak Al-Kabeer governorates, and serves about 1.25 million people, indicating that to achieve our aspirations we must take into account the volume of work that is taking place, as this is the only area in which one center operates 24 hours, and 12 operate until midnight.

Head of the Primary Health Care Unit in the Ahmadi Health District, Fahad Al-Azmi, said that the center includes general treatment, diabetes, and chronic diseases clinics and specialized clinics, adding that osteoporosis programs will soon be provided.
