This is very interesting. I posted a rant 10 days or so ago complaining how everyone in the Gulf except Kuwait is collaborating with world class hospitals. Someone must be reading our blog at the Ministry because yesterday, an article from KUNA stated that an agreement is being set up with Johns Hopkins to manage 4 Kuwaiti Hospitals (I'm joking, I don't really think anyone at the Ministry of Health is following our blog). This is fantastic! I love optimistic news. Read the article below:
Al-Sayer told Kuwait News Agency KUNA, that talks with John Hopkins officials included ways to provide technical support services, information systems, laboratories, radiology, and quality of services, in addition to reviewing work policies in technical divisions like emergency, anesthesia and surgery.
He added, discussions also included ways to develop the health sector in the four hospitals, in the fields of therapeutic, diagnostic and training, in addition to sending doctors from Kuwait for training and fellowship in subspecialties.
Al-Sayer said, officials at Johns Hopkins University aim to promote healthy relations with Kuwait, and is ready to provide all possible facilities and better health services.
The Minister of Health had signed a memo of understanding in Canada for the development of services to treat cancer diseases and surgery, in addition to cardiovascular research, education with the largest Canadian health centers and universities in Toronto and Montreal.
