The aim was to attract potential local and international investors across all sectors to partner with the government to achieve sustainable development goals. We were very pleased to have welcomed attendees and visitors to our booth, which allowed us to further the dialogue on public and private sector collaboration opportunities.

Well done dmg events for organizing such an important and timely platform for industry leaders to connect and inspire! We look forward to participating again at the next INDEX event.

As the center officially opens today, June 2nd, we extend our congratulations to Kuwait’s Ministry of Health and our gratitude to all those who supported this project. An extension to an existing hospital, the center offers kidney and stem cell transplants, dialysis, chemotherapy, and post-operative therapies. Dedicated to providing comprehensive care for people living with chronic kidney disease and helping patients lead fuller lives.
