Housewives in Kuwait caught working at an illegal clinic

KUWAIT CITY, Nov 5: As part of the efforts of the Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) to monitor and regulate the labor market and ensure compliance with labor laws and regulations, the Labor Inspection Department has been carrying out intensive inspection campaigns in coordination with the Residency Affairs Investigation Department at the Ministry of Interior, the Drug Control General Department, and the Health Licensing Department at the Ministry of Health. PAM revealed on its website that, during one of these inspection campaigns, the joint tripartite committee discovered a health center employing workers not authorized by PAM to work, including individuals holding family residency permits and domestic workers.

The center was also found to be practicing medicine without a license, using unlicensed and unidentified medications stored improperly, and operating medical devices on patients. These actions constitute clear violations of the laws regulating the practice of medicine, labor, and residency in Kuwait. PAM affirmed that joint inspection campaigns are ongoing in all governorates to deal with various types of violations, stressing that no leniency will be shown in taking legal action against those who violate labor laws.

It clarified that each relevant authority is implementing the necessary legal procedures against violators within its respective jurisdiction. PAM urged employers and workers to fully comply with applicable laws and regulations to protect the interests of workers and public safety, and to ensure a well-regulated labor market.
