  • 25/01/2022

Kuwait City: The consultant hired by the Health Insurance Hospitals Company (Dhamaan) to find a global operating partner received offers from 15 parties and chose four unnamed global operators who met all technical, administrative, and financial requirements and are entitled to compete in the final round. 


They explained that the company Deloitte, which was assigned by Dhamaan to participate in the process of selecting and qualifying the operating partner, concluded that there are four operators with global capabilities in the field of healthcare, one from Europe, one from North America, one from East Asia, and one from an Arab country. These four operators were found to have met the majority of the requirements for submitting their offers to Dhamaan's Board of Directors. Their proposals will be examined, and one operator will be chosen as part of the company's attempts to apply worldwide healthcare standards in Kuwait. 

The operational partner will be in charge of managing Kuwait's Dhamaan system of hospitals and primary healthcare clinics. It will collaborate with Dhamaan as the first healthcare institution in the Middle East with a public-private partnership (PPP) system and the first company in the Gulf to provide services based on the Integrated Health Maintenance System (HMO) model. According to the sources, the company's executives will continue to focus fully on its intended role in improving Kuwait's healthcare indicators, and enhanced efforts will be made in this regard on several levels to operate the company. 

In addition, the sources explained that the completion rate of hospitals is currently close to 70 percent. This indicates that Dhamaan will soon carry out all its responsibilities, which is one of the pivotal elements in the national development vision “New Kuwait 2035”. The first phase of operations will witness the completion of two hospitals and five primary health care centers in various parts of Kuwait. The sources said, “The construction of the system is currently fully underway. The construction process is expected to be completed by the end of this year”.
