The Ministry of Health has reaffirmed its commitment to promoting maternal and child health in Kuwait during World Health Day celebrations, which were held under the theme ‘A Healthy Start for a Promising Future’.

The World Health Organization (WHO) is organizing a year-long awareness campaign to improve maternal, newborn, and child health globally, focusing on preventable deaths, long-term women’s health, and support for pregnant and postnatal care, according to Al-Rai daily.

Dr. Abdullah Al-Sanad, the Ministry’s spokesperson, has emphasized the importance of early life care in building a healthy society and noted that Kuwait’s health programs align with the country’s Vision 2035, aiming for high-quality healthcare.

He highlighted the Ministry’s ongoing efforts in comprehensive medical care, awareness, nutrition, and immunization for mothers and children.

Dr. Amal Khader, Chairman of Obstetrics and Gynecology, detailed significant advancements in women’s healthcare, including the new Farwaniya Hospital’s obstetrics and gynecology department, the upcoming maternity hospital in Al-Sabah Health District, and the integration of advanced medical technologies like microsurgery and AI diagnostics.

These developments are part of Kuwait’s commitment to improving healthcare services for women and children at all stages of life.
