Market Size
In terms of revenue, the Kuwait hospital market has registered a constant growth with positive CAGR in last five years (2012-2017). Majority of the healthcare sector in Kuwait is controlled by the Ministry of Health. The private participation in the healthcare sector is considerably low.

Owing to this, the number of outpatients and inpatients in public sector hospitals is significantly higher than private sector. However, majority of the revenues generated in the hospital market is from the private sector hospitals. This is due to the enormous difference of prices for healthcare services in public and private sector hospitals.
