KUWAIT: The Ministry of Commerce and Industry ignored a recommendation made by its technical committee on cancelling the license of the Kuwait Medical City Company – which is fully owned by the Social Security Authority – for not operating for three consecutive years, and decided keeping the license valid.

Earlier, Social Security Director Hamad Al-Humaidhi met Minister of Commerce Yousef Al-Ali, explaining the company’s inactivity for three years were due to reasons beyond its control. Accordingly, Ali ordered ignoring the recommendation. Notably, the Kuwait Medical City Company is responsible for building and running integrated medical cities.
