Undersecretary of the Kuwaiti Ministry of Health Dr Ibrahim Al-Abdulhadi met with the Kuwaiti doctors completing their specialization study and training in Germany, along with German doctors, and representatives of German Ministry of Higher Education and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). 
Albdulhadi said that "the ministry is seeking to cooperate with Germany in the field of medicine, health services, and related higher education in order to improve the skills of Kuwaitis in these fields.
The German officials are keen on boosting cooperation with Kuwait, and are to offer all possible facilities to Kuwaiti doctors training there, besides Kuwaiti patients who receive the best treatment", he noted. Abdulhadi promised to overcome all the obstacles facing Kuwaiti doctors in Germany at present, including issues related to allowances and working hours.
The Kuwaiti trainee doctors thanked Dr Abdulhadi and the Director of the Health Office in Germany Dr Sulaiman Al-Harbash for efforts to recognize difficulties and solving problems. Abdulhadi signed a number of agreements with six hospitals and treatment centers to offer better services to Kuwaiti patients in Germany during a visit to the state.
The Kuwaiti Minister of Health Hilal Al-Sayer had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with his German counterpart in North-Rhine Westphalia last year, for further cooperation in the fields of medicine and higher education. 
Kuwait sends a large number of patients to Germany, especially for the treatment of bone diseases, fractures, and spine diseases and cosmetic surgery, in addition to sending physicians for specific specialization.
