Kuwait to recruit Pakistani physicians

Posted on 7/15/2012

Kuwait Heath Ministry Undersecretary for Technical Affairs Dr. Khalid Al-Sahlawi has announced that a delegation will head to Pakistan Sunday to make interviews and hire physicians for primary health care centers.

In statements to KUNA, Al-Sahlawi said that the recruitment trip comes within the framework of long-standing cooperation between Kuwaiti-Pakistani health ministries.

He added that the Pakistani physicians are well-trained and well-qualified.

"Over 230 applications were submitted to the Kuwaiti Embassy in Pakistan and the Health Ministry officials have reviewed them," he said, noting that nearly 100 applicants have the qualifications required by the ministry.

The Kuwaiti delegation will conduct interviews with those applicants and choose the most suitable for the jobs, he said.

Kuwait Health Ministry hired last year over 50 Pakistani physicians for the primary health care centers across the nations.

"They have done a good job in their work in Kuwait and Kuwaiti officials and patients are pleased with their performance," Al-Sahlawi said.

MAHENDRA Posted on Tuesday, July 17, 2012 Good decision asians are far better than egyptian doctors.Pakis/indian should stop competing.Indians should compare themself with chinese and other big nation rather than a small state pakistan.

Tiju Posted on Monday, July 16, 2012 Good.Hopefully the ministry could think of replacing these egyptian and syrian doctors with someone with some doctors with common sense to actually diagnose the patient and not like these egyptian fools who dont even know to provide an injection
kumar Posted on Monday, July 16, 2012 Good move Pak dr's are far far better than Misri (so called dater) and Indian dr's only looking for money (nurse get 700 kd so we need 2100kd) so at least those who don't know arabic can convey with thease pak dr's in hindi or english

MS Posted on Sunday, July 15, 2012 This is an excellent step taken by Kuwait Govt. Now, they should also lift ban on Visa for Pakistanis. Pakistanis doctors and engineers are well trained and recognized all over the world.

Indian Posted on Sunday, July 15, 2012 Authentication of their qualification/degrees is the biggest challenge. I have Paki colleagues who were the victims of fake doctors in Pakistan.

Last month i went to fahaheel new clinic bcz. i am having fever one egyptian doctor look me very far and even didnt use stethascope i told him i have fever suddently he press the keyboard infront of him i saw it is "F" f means fever immediately i heard call from pharmacy they gave the medicine this is the actual situation i am afraid of it yaaarr.
well wisher Posted on Sunday, July 15, 2012 Gr8 news,,,Doctors from any part of the world will be much better than Pheron nationals doctors,who sit like dummies in front of screens and prescribe u medicines without examining you. This is excellent step taken by Kuwait MOH. Regards
choudhqm Posted on Sunday, July 15, 2012 Alhamdollillah, a beam of light after a long light.Pakistani professionals have extremely good reputations in all fields all over the world. InshaAllah like before they will proove to be 2nd to none.
Baig Posted on Sunday, July 15, 2012 Very wise decision by Kuwaiti Govt. Now at least there will be no language barrier for majority Asian speaking expats in Kuwait.
Omar Shaikh Posted on Sunday, July 15, 2012 Excillent initiative.. which is reflectant of healthy relationship between both brotherly nation.. who hav always stood firm for each other.. especially the pivotal role played during Iraq invasion in 1990 and devastating events in Pak due to flood.. Pakistani doctors and financiers has earned world wide recognition in US in particular for thr services.. Doctors frm Agha Khan Uni and King Edward are already employed in private sector as head of dept. in Salaam hospital, Mowasaat etc. Getting ths higly qualified doctors in public sector will get a multiplier affect..
KKK Posted on Sunday, July 15, 2012 I am glad finally something positive came out of this nation. Eyes Wide Open!
