Kuwait’s Health Ministry is considering designating specific hours of the day that nationals and expats can seek medical assistance, in a proposal some have described as racist.
Under the plan, only Kuwaitis would be allowed to attend hospitals and clinics in the morning, while non-nationals would be treated only in the evening.
Staff also would be segregated according to their nationality, while emergencies would be excluded from the plan.
