KUWAIT HAS ALMOST 10.000 MENTAL DISABLED PEOPLE

  • 17/08/2022

Kuwait City: While the Public Authority for Disability Affairs (PADA) reports that there are 10,280 mentally retarded people in Kuwait, they need support and assistance, listen to their complaints and the suffering of their families, and on to add to their woes is the scarcity of entertainment venues dedicated to this category of people, as well as a kind of isolation imposed on many by the society through wrongful marginalisation despite their acculturation to Kuwait.


The pressure on these communities, particularly the skilled members, to become fully integrated into society is growing. The mentally challenged, who are aged 21 and older, are said to suffer the most and require specialized care.
