Justice for Medical Negligence: KD 45,000 Awarded by Kuwait Court

Published

on

KUWAIT CITY, May 24: The Court of Appeals upheld the ruling of the Court of First Instance, which ordered the Ministry of Health to pay KD45,000 to a female citizen as final compensation for damages, disability, and bodily harm resulting from a medical error during childbirth at a government hospital. The plaintiff demanded compensation for the material and moral damages she suffered and for the disability (estimated at 20 percent of her total body capacity ) caused by medical errors during her delivery at the hospital.

Attorney Mishari Sulaiman Al-Marzouq, lawyer of the plaintiff, said the Medical Liability Authority report concluded that three doctors affiliated with the Ministry of Health committed medical and professional errors, with disciplinary sanctions imposed on them. Al-Marzouq explained that his client suffered material damages, including a longer stay in the hospital and the expense of purchasing medications and painkillers after her discharge. “She also suffered a degree of disability and moral damages as a result of the significant reduction in her chances of becoming pregnant in the future. The medical reports concluded that the medical errors affected his client’s uterus, causing disability and a partial loss of its function. The subsequent pregnancy will be extremely risky; hence, the need for compensation.”

Meanwhile, the court chose not to impose penalties on three others (a man, a juvenile, and a woman) whose citizenships had also been revoked. Their arrests followed a coordinated ambush and surveillance operation conducted by detectives, which included photographing the suspects at the time of capture.

Expat Claims Wife And Mother-in-Law Tricked Him For 15 Years

KUWAIT CITY, July 27: A domestic dispute took a dramatic legal turn in Kuwait after an expatriate man accused his wife and mother-in-law of being “scammers” in official court documents, allegedly to prove he had been deceived during their 15-year marriage.

According to security sources, the case began when the wife, a 1989-born expatriate woman, filed a complaint at the Hawally  Police Station accusing her husband—born in 1971—of slander and defamation. She claimed he submitted documents to the Hawally Court describing her and her mother as members of a “scammer family,” citing name similarities with others involved in fraudulent activities.

The matter was referred to Hawally detectives, who summoned the husband for questioning. During the interrogation, he was confronted with both his wife’s accusations and the documents he had submitted in court.

Faced with the evidence, the man confessed to making the claims, citing ongoing family disputes and financial pressures as his motivation. He admitted that the allegations were rooted in personal conflict rather than actual fraud. Authorities are continuing to review the case for further legal action.
