Submit your request for examination by the medical committee in the competent hospital to decide whether the treatment is available inside Kuwait or not. This can be done by filling Form No.(1)
In case the specialty medical committee approves your abroad treatment since it is not available in Kuwait, you or your relative must refer to the Department of Treatment Abroad. Hence, you can start the travel procedures pursuant to the systems followed in this regard. In case the specialty medical committee does not approve your abroad treatment, you or your relative can fill the Form No. (2) to bring a complaint against the decision of the specialty committee. The complain will then be presented before the Supreme Medical Committee for Treatment Abroad
