Kuwait City: Kuwait is going to implement premarital health checks. The Ministry of Health in Kuwait will require all couples seeking marriage to undergo medical examinations, regardless of nationality from April 1.
Health Minister Dr Ahmad Al Awadhi has approved new executive regulations for Law No. 31 of 2008, which mandates premarital medical screening to help curb genetic and infectious diseases. The changes, published in the Official Gazette, broaden the scope of the tests to cover all marriage contracts in Kuwait, including those between non-Kuwaitis.
