Director of Ahmadi Medical Area Dr. Ahmad Al-Shatti confirmed Sunday aspiration to include Sabah Al-Ahmad Residential City within the global health cities system, for its primary health care centers, and to provide more community services to the city’s residents.

This came in Dr. Al-Shatti’s speech during an event held on the opening of Sabah Al-Ahmad Primary Health Care Center, in Sabah Al-Ahmad Residential City, under the patronage of Ahmadi Governor Sheikh Fawaz Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah.

Dr. Al-Shatti noted the important role played by primary care centers, whether in early treatment or through prevention and awareness, saying they have become a role model in this regard.

For his part, the official spokesman for the Ministry of Health, Dr. Abdullah Al-Sanad, in a similar speech, said, there are 108 primary care centers in Kuwait, 28 in Ahmadi Governorate, 26 in the capital, 21 in Farwaniya, 19 in Jahra and 14 in Hawally.

Sabah Al-Ahmad City is no less important than the rest of Kuwait regions, he said, as there is a clear interest in health care in it, pointing out that there are several primary and specialized health centers that provide services to thousands of patients every month.

In turn, Dr. Aseel Al-Sabri, director of the center, said Sabah Al-Ahmad Residential City is about 45 kilometers from Al-Adan Hospital, so the Minister of Health was keen to organize the health centers with a division and a single mechanism of action, different from the usual pattern of clinics, to be a role model in the new residential cities.
