Greetings:

I am in Kuwait on a tourist visa. Right now, I am very, very sick. However, I have been told that, because I am on a tourist visa, I can't go to a government hospital and that I can't even go to a private hospital. No Kuwaiti civil ID, no healthcare in Kuwait or so I have been told, but is this true? However, are there any hospitals in Kuwait that admit Canadians because of some special arrangement they have with the Canadian Government. Any information you can provide me in this situation is greatly appreciated.

No onecan stop you in either Govt or PVT hospitals.
Just carry your passport and visa and they will admit you.

U do not need civil id. Just show your passport. My uncle did his bypass in kuwait when on visit visa.It was in GOVT hospital.
