The Ministry credits its success to a multi-pronged approach that aligns with global best practices. Firstly, Kuwait actively participates in international efforts to combat tuberculosis, ensuring its strategies are in line with leading public health organizations. Secondly, a cornerstone of this success has been the expansion of free screening programs across the country. These programs have played a critical role in identifying cases early, allowing for prompt treatment and prevention of further spread.

Thirdly, the Ministry has implemented well-coordinated plans with dedicated human and material resources specifically targeted at tuberculosis control. Finally, targeted public awareness campaigns have been crucial in educating various population groups about early detection and preventative measures. These campaigns have undoubtedly contributed to limiting the spread of the disease, reported Al Rai daily.
