KUWAIT: The Ministry of Health intends to impose health insurance on visitors coming to Kuwait using tourist or commercial visit visas, well-informed ministry sources said. The sources added that a team consisting of members from the health minister's office and the ministry's legal affairs department was currently preparing a draft bill to submit it to the cabinet soon.
Further, the sources explained that the team discussed various options to put this project into practice with various insurance companies, and also discussed its benefits, especially since it is already used in Europe. Meanwhile, the sources denied any intention to cancel expats' health insurance or increase its fees. - Al-Jarida
