MoH launches specialized recovery clinic for children after intensive care
Kuwait’s Ministry of Health inaugurated on Wednesday the country’s first specialized pediatric post intensive care recovery clinic at Jahra Hospital.
In a press statement, the ministry said the clinic operates under the supervision of Head of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Dr. Iman Al-Hashemi, reflecting a modern medical approach focused on continuity of care and comprehensive recovery.
The ministry noted that the clinic aims to provide early detection of complications associated with post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) and improve long-term health outcomes for children through specialized follow-up programs supporting physical, neurological, psychological and behavioral recovery.
The initiative aligns with modern global trends in critical care medicine, which increasingly view medical success beyond survival from critical illness to include quality of life, sustainable recovery and restoration of physical, psychological and neurological functions after intensive treatment, the ministry added.
The ministry affirmed that the initiative represents a qualitative leap in pediatric intensive care services in Kuwait and reflects an advanced medical vision centered on comprehensive recovery and improved quality of life for children and their families.
