Al-Safa Charity opens endocrinology and dialysis hospital in Kyrgyzstan

Project enhances Kuwait’s leading role in humanitarian work

BISHKEK: Al-Safa Charity and Humanitarian Society inaugurated the endocrinology and dialysis hospital in the Kyrgyz capital, Bishkek, on Wednesday, with support from the General Secretariat of Kuwait’s Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs. During the opening ceremony, which was attended by Kyrgyz Health Minister Alymkadyr Beishenaliev, the Chairman of the Society’s Board of Directors, Mohammad Al-Shaya, highlighted the significance of this new medical facility.

Al-Shaya emphasized that the hospital’s project enhances Kuwait’s leading role in humanitarian work, showcasing the country’s positive contribution to humanitarian efforts worldwide. He also stressed the importance of implementing healthcare projects that align with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, while praising the strategic partnership between Al-Safa Charity and the General Secretariat of Awqaf, which has led to numerous exceptional international projects.

On his part, Nasser Al-Hamad, the Acting Secretary General of the Awqaf Public Foundation, noted that the hospital was one of the few specializing in endocrinology and dialysis in Kyrgyzstan. He explained that the hospital was initially built years ago, but construction was halted due to financial challenges. The charity’s mission was to complete and fully equip this hospital.

Al-Hamad affirmed Kuwait’s ongoing commitment to Islamic cooperation through governmental support, partnerships, and agreements fostered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other sectors focused on development and international cooperation. This hospital opening was part of a series of humanitarian projects by Al-Safa Charity in Kyrgyzstan, as part of its 16th charity campaign, which began on Sunday and will continue until September 13. — KUNA
