D. C. Assink M.S.W. ed. said
Can I get a hip resurfacing here in Kuwait? If not, what about in the UK? What hospitals here in Kuwait have links to other Europeon hospitals on the cutting edge of orthopedics? Thanks in advance. I am in my first year, of a two year contract to teach at UAS. I teach economics, psychology, sociology, world geography and world history. I lost my knee in high school football, and ankles in college and post-college sports; lost my hip in an attempt to stop a violent attack on another individual. The hips has not stated to lose its bone densecity, but the hip joint is partially bone on bone and I am slowing down each day; not less than 100yds. 965 750 4484
nadeem said
Dear D.C., thank you for your note. The largest orthopedic surgery center in Kuwait is the Al-Razi Hospital in the Al-Sabah Medical Area in Shuwaikh. It handles the bulk of orthopedic issues in the country. Private hospitals such as Al-Salam International Hospital have ortho departments but I am not aware of any particular affiliations with foreign centers. We cannot make recommendations on U.K. facilities.
Good luck!
Raed said
Locally, there is also Dr Waleed Altunaib in “Dar Al-Shifaa” private hospital in Hawalli, a Canadian trained colleague, who is currently a leading lower limb Arthroplasty surgeon in Kuwait.
I hope this, along with Nadeem’s leads, would be of help.
KS said
I’m not sure about a register of Psychologists here in Kuwait, but I am on a register (a Chartered Psychologist) (British Psychological Society) and happen to live here in Kuwait.
Sabahat said
Hello KS,
I am clinical psychologist with training from the US. Do you know what the prospects are like in Kuwait? I would ideally like to join a psychology practice.
Um nasr said
Scarlet fever in private school in kuwait.shouldnt school inform ministry and parents?
Raed said
Not particularly Um Nasr, they don’t have to (although it would be helpful if they did) report it to other parents. They are certainly not required to report it to the local health registry. Scarlet Fever is a rash disease associated with a common sore throat causing bacteria, and those illnesses are a) not reportable illnesses (to the ministry of health), and b) they don’t cause any more risk of serious complications nor ease of transmission to any other common cause of sore throat related bacterial infection. In other words, it’s a common sore throat bacterial infection that is associated with a rash and should not cause panic among contacts any more than other common sore throat illnesses, having said that, and just in any other form of cold illnesses, the child should ideally stay at home, and they usually do since they are often sicker, to both rest, and to lower the risk of passing it on to other kids, and the sick child does require treatment with a course of antibiotic.
Adil said
Where can i find a Sports Surgeon cum Orthopaedic doctor, i know al Razi hospital is for orthopaedic, does it also house some sports medicine doctors and surgeons
Raed said
Thank you for your question Adel. You’re totally correct; Al-Razi Hospital is the place to go. I recommend Dr Hamad AL-Harran, a Canadian trained colleague for upper limb sport injuries, and Dr Ali Al-Mukaimi, a senior surgeon for lower limb injuries. Both practice at Al-Razi Hospital.
rieaane said
Does the al-sabah maternity hospital have prenatal check up services?
nadeem said
Dear Rieaane,
The Maternity Hospital does have prenatal services. Typical, expecting mothers would need to be referred from primary care clinics. Since limited OB/GYN services are available at some of the local clinics, I would suggest discussing it with your primary care provider first, if you have one that is.
Best of luck.
lynette said
Can someone please recommend a podiatrist in Kuwait (i.e. doctor’s and hospital’s name)

foreigner in kuwait said
Whenever I tried to call the public hospitals esp. the al sabah hosp. to ask something, they hung up as soon as they know that I am a foreigner,is this the way they treat patients or only to foreigners like me? what’s the use of of paying KD 50 for our health insurance if even a small information they cannot provide it for us?
Raed said
Dear Foreigner In Kuwait, thank you for sharing your story. As much we hope that what had happened to you was due to a technical fault, we hope that it was not due to a lousy telephone operator or the tip of a mass national moral catastrophe.

suresh said
sir,
This is suresh.I am facing psycological problem.Can u giive me any indian doctors address.
Best Regrads.
nadeem said
Dear Suresh, I am sorry to hear of your problem. My two recommendations would be to visit the Psychological Medicine Hospital in the Al-Sabah Hospital Area, where you will find a number of psychiatrists who can immediately help you, and contact your embassy to know if any Indian psychologists are practicing in Kuwait. If you feel that this is urgent or that you are having frightening thoughts, I urge you to go to the hospital as soon as possible.
Good luck.
Dr A. said
To Whom It May Concern,
I am a Kuwaiti Citizen, currently living in the US for past 30 years (yes 30 years), having completed my education from high school,college, graduate school (PhD in clinical psych), medical school and residency (Family Medicine) in US. I am an Osteopathic physician, board-certified by American Board of Family Medicine. My wife is US citizen who is Board Certified in child psychiatry.
It is time for me to come back home. What is the job prospect. I am working as a hospitalist in the midwest now. I will be in Kuwait next week. Any advice, as to where I start. (I am looking for something a year from now, as I anticipate starting Geriatric Fellowship in 7/08).
Thanks in advance for input.
nadeem said
Dear Dr. A, thank you for your question. There may be a number of options you may want to consider, more so in the private sector. However, the field of psychiatry remains very restricted in Kuwait where its private practice continues to be prohibited and is limited to the Psychological Medicine Hospital (the only psychiatric facility in the country). Please expect an email with additional details.
Good luck.

Raam said
Hi,
Can you suggest me some clinic or hospital where they provide acupuncture treatment.
Thanks
Raam
nadeem said
Dear Juliet, Wendy, and Er. KK, kindly refer to our email responses for some guidance.
Dear Raam, there are certainly several facilities and offices providing acupuncture services in Kuwait. Unfortunately, our knowledge on these alternative medicine services remains limited owing to their lack of accreditation and recognition within the local health care community. An online search has revealed a rehabilitation center, the Fawzia Sultan Rehabilitation Institute http://www.rehabinstitutekuwait.com, located behind the Dar Al-Shifa Hospital in Hawally, that offers acupuncture.
Best of luck.

johny said
Looking for a psychiatrist in Kuwait. Does anyone know of a good one. Please let me know.
Faisal said
Dear Johny, Angelina and Parveen,
You have three options when you seek psychiatric help in Kuwait. For primary/minor psychiatric/psychological problems, you can certainly consult with your primary care or family medicine center in your local area who are trained to deal with minor psychiatric issues. The next step, as Dr. Nadeem mentioned in the above column, would be to seek help from the psychiatric hospital in Sabah Area where they accept self and other physicians referral. The third option would be to visit a private practitioner. Dr. Essam Al-Ansari (263-5047) is currently the only trained psychiatrist to hold a private practice in Kuwait. If medications are needed, he will refer you to the Psychological Medicine Hospital as it is only there that these are dispensed. There are also numerous psychology practices (listings are available in the papers and at various embassies).
Please note that the KHI cannot make any individual recommendations on practitioners as we are not familiar with their certification status or qualifications.
May I wish you all to get well soon.

Khaled said
Hi
I am in urgent need of a psychiatrist in Kuwait, and i don’t know where to look for. The Psychological Medicine Hospital is not an option for me. Stepping into that place brands you as a loon. Money isn’t an issue, Competency is. I currently suffer from issues that are very sensitive to the culture I live in therefore anonymity is crucial. I am a stable person with a complexity that requires candidacy. This has been a chronic issue that i need resolution and closure for. What I need is someone to help me help myself. I have been contemplating leaving the country for aid but would rather a Arab/Kuwaiti due to cultural objectiveness from the issues I am going through.
Ms.X said
Hello,
Shortly before moving to Kuwait, I got an STD test and have just found out that I tested positive for Chlamydia trachomatis. I am horrified that I have an STD and want to have it treated immediately.
Thankfully, Chlamydia can be treated with antibiotics. As a foreigner, where can I go to be treated? Even though this STD is curable, will it be reported to the Ministry of Health, as it is a communicable disease?
Thank you in advance for your advice.
Faisal said
Dear Angi,
Back pain is very common problem in Kuwait and has numerous causes. I suggest starting with a family physician in either the public or private sector. Keep in mind that some causes may be life-threatening and need urgent evaluation in an emergency department. If this is a long-standing problem, you may need alternative pain medications and, possibly, referral to a back specialist (may be a rheumatologist or a spine surgeon, depending on the cause identified).
Faisal said
Hi Ms X
I do not think that Chlamydia is a reportable disease. You may seek help from either an internist in the private or public hospitals. There is also an emergency department at the infectious disease hospital in Sulaibekhat where they also can provide professional opinion.
Although we are unable to make treatment recommendations over the internet, suggested treatment regimens for this infection are azithromycin (1 g taken orally as a single dose) or doxycycline (100 mg taken orally twice daily for 7 days) for simple infections. Complications need more aggressive therapy with other antibiotics. Keep in mind that co-infections also need to be managed and any exposed partner must also obtain antibiotic treatment.

Hi, I am looking for a pediatric endocrinologist in private practice in kuwait. Any ideas?
faisal alterkait said
Ria
If UK is an option let me know, I know many excellent paediatric endocrinologist. I am sure other people here will know some one in kuwait to recommend.
faisal alterkait said
I shouldn’t say that but I couldn’t help thinking about it. The name: Kuwait Cancer Control Center! it is fundamentally wrong, I guess it is only about 20% of cases are in the form of adjuvant management i.e precautionary chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The rest of cases are palliative. What “control” got to do with the centre?? Am I missing something here??
The best control of cancer is cancer prevention i.e. in the primary care and Public health sector setting not a tertiary center. The other peculiar thing is that KCCC is translated in Arabic to مركز حسين مكي الجمعة للجراحة التخصصيه! making it a taboo in arabic. I am talking on a National level here, all what I can say is: شر البليه ما يضحك

Hi. I am an American and am pregnant (8 months). I’m looking for a doctor who is open to natural birthing methods (no epidural, low cesarean rate) and is not overly hasty to medicate but rather allows the patient to kind of labor freely. I have checked out New Mowasat, London, Al Salam etc but haven’t found anyone yet. Can someone please recommend a doctor who is well trained and meets this description? Also, I’m in search of a good pediatrician who can treat enlarged adenoids and/ or cough variant asthma in a 4 year old girl. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
