"Healthcare and health insurance in Kuwait can be expensive. The cost of medical care is generally higher than in other countries, and the cost of health insurance can be quite high.

However, the government does provide some subsidies for healthcare, and there are also some private health insurance plans available," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Kuwait.
