​The Minister of Health in Kuwait has officially issued the executive regulations for the Wafid program to regulate medical examinations for expatriates.

This official decision by the Minister of Health aligns with guidelines set by the Gulf Health Council to determine health conditions required for foreign workers.

The Wafid program approved by the Minister of Health aims to achieve comprehensive health integration among the Gulf Cooperation Council countries through unified strategic goals.

Through these new regulations the Ministry of Health seeks to unify regional efforts to achieve the highest standards of quality in preventive and curative health services.

The new executive regulations place a strong emphasis on ensuring that all incoming expatriates are completely free from infectious diseases that pose public risks.

The Ministry of Health confirmed that enforcing the Wafid program is a vital step toward protecting the safety and security of communities across the GCC.

According to the approved mechanism the Gulf Health Council is responsible for certifying the medical examination facilities for expatriates within their home countries.

This proactive measure managed by the Ministry of Health ensures that all medical screenings are thoroughly completed before the worker's arrival in the state.

Issuing the executive regulations for the Wafid program reflects the commitment of the Minister of Health to modernizing preventive measures and securing national health.

The digital integration within the program allows the Ministry of Health to track medical results efficiently between certified overseas centers and local authorities.

Health officials noted that the medical standards applied under the Wafid program comply fully with international protocols and unified Gulf health regulations.

The competent departments at the Ministry of Health will implement these executive regulations immediately to ensure full compliance with the updated GCC health standards.
