KUWAIT: The Ministry of Health has unveiled the National AIDS Strategy (2025-2029), developed through the Permanent National Committee for Combating AIDS, as part of Kuwait’s continued commitment to combating HIV and ensuring high-quality healthcare for all. The strategy aims to reduce the impact of the epidemic by 2030 through a comprehensive framework focused on prevention, early detection, and treatment, in line with global health targets.

Formulated in collaboration with local and international health experts, the five-year strategy underscores the state’s dedication to meeting international standards and achieving key milestones in the global fight against HIV/AIDS. Central to the plan are efforts to reduce new HIV infections, expand access to early diagnosis, and improve the quality of medical care and support services for individuals living with the virus.

The strategy also addresses the social challenges associated with HIV by promoting awareness, reducing stigma, and fostering a supportive environment that allows patients to seek care without discrimination. Among the primary goals is diagnosing 95 percent of individuals living with HIV, eliminating mother-to-child transmission, and expanding preventive education and routine testing across the community.

A key element of the initiative includes the implementation of an enhanced health information system designed to provide accurate and timely data to guide healthcare interventions. Over 35 performance indicators will be used to monitor progress and ensure the effectiveness of the programs. The Ministry stressed that this initiative forms part of Kuwait’s broader national health agenda and aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals, reinforcing the country’s commitment to public health and the well-being of all residents. — KUNA
