On 8 September 2025, Mrs. Uraiwan Courtaud, Chargée d'Affaires a.i., paid a courtesy call on Dr. Hisham Kelendar, Assistant Undersecretary for External Health Services, upon her assumption of duty.

On this occasion, the two sides explored avenues to strengthen cooperation between Thailand and Kuwait, particularly through the establishment of a patient referral system between private hospitals of the two countries. Such a system would expand comprehensive options and provide greater convenience for Kuwaiti patients seeking medical treatment in Thailand. The discussion also touched upon the way forward for exchanges of medical personnel to further enhance bilateral cooperation in healthcare services.

The Chargée d’Affaires a.i. also invited the relevant Kuwaiti authorities to attend Embassy’s upcoming event, titled “Rediscovering Health and Wellness Tourism in Thailand”. This event will take place on 17 September 2025, in Hilton Garden Inn Hotel, Kuwait City, with the aim to promote Thailand’s potentials as regional Medical Hub and its readiness to welcome international patients and wellness tourists from Kuwait and beyond.
