KUWAIT CITY, Aug 5: In a significant development within the government’s 100-day action plan, Kuwait has inaugurated its first specialized night clinic for children's dental emergencies. The new facility, located in Jahra Governorate, was officially opened by Dr. Ahmad Assad, the Assistant Undersecretary for Dental Affairs.

This pioneering clinic is the first of its kind in Kuwait's government sector, offering dedicated dental emergency services for children seven days a week from 9 pm to 7 am. The initiative addresses the growing demand for comprehensive oral and dental care for children, providing parents with peace of mind by ensuring round-the-clock medical services for pediatric dental emergencies.

In addition to the children’s dental emergency clinic, an existing emergency clinic for adult dental issues operates during the same hours. This dual-facility approach aims to enhance the overall quality and efficiency of health services available to the community.

The opening of this clinic is part of a broader strategy to ensure that health services meet the needs of all citizens continuously, with plans to expand similar services across all governorates in the future.
