Residency medical query

S0436

Hey, can anyone tell me the latest information about what tests are undertaken for the residency medical inside Kuwait shorty after arriving?  Is it HIV, hepatitis b, c and malaria only?  I read an article from 2018 saying they are including 21 more diseases including diabetes, herpes etc.  Thanks.

As far I know they do the following:
* Chest X-ray
* Blood tests:
- HIV
- Syphilis
- Hepatitis B & C
- Malaria
- Filaria
- Pregnancy test for women

I am not sure about other diseases.

There was news about adding more test but no confirmation.

Thanks for the reply. It would be unfair to refuse residency for herpes or something  :|

Is there an official webpage from the ministry that lists the specific diseases that are tested?

The official site



It is in Arabic only above tests are mentioned and herpes is not included.

Thanks, could you tell me the url of the page in Arabic?  Thanks!

Thanks so much for the link!  I noticed the link is down but I think the server for the whole government website is not working at the moment, I will try again later.
