The UAE and Kuwait share a long-standing relationship that goes back years before the formation of the UAE. An infographic released under the slogan 'The UAE and Kuwait: Brothers Forever' highlights how this bond has been reflected in the healthcare sector over several decades.

Before the Union, Kuwait supported the UAE at a time when healthcare systems were still developing. It helped deliver medical care and played an important role in laying the foundations of modern healthcare services in the country.
