As of 2019, about 78 hospitals were functioning in Kuwait. Around 32 of them currently provide
tertiary care services, with more expected to scale up in the next 2-3 years, driven by Kuwait’s
ambitious Vision 2035 plan. The early signs have been positive – $1 Billion was allocated to build eight
new hospitals around the capital region, along with another $4.4 Billion earmarked for nine new
hospitals – all of them focused on specialized care. This tertiary care segment of hospitals accounts
for approximately 54% of the total beds in the country
