Kuwait arrests four Indian nationals in illegal medical clinic case

Kuwaiti security authorities have shut down a clandestine medical clinic operating out of a private apartment in Farwaniya, arresting four Indian nationals and uncovering a wider network involved in the illegal distribution of government-issued medicines.

One of the detainees was found practising medicine without a licence, while the other three were at the premises seeking treatment. The operation has brought the total number of arrests connected to the case to eight, highlighting what authorities describe as an ongoing commitment to public safety and strict oversight of medical activity.

Discovery of the illegal clinic

According to the Ministry of Interior, the operation was carried out through coordinated action between the Security Directorates Sector and the Criminal Security Sector. Acting on intelligence regarding unlawful medical practices, officers raided the apartment and found a fully equipped, unauthorised clinic offering treatment without regulatory approval. Authorities stressed that such illegal facilities pose serious risks to patient health and undermine public trust in the healthcare system.
A post from @Moi_kuw confirmed the arrests inside the flat, where one Indian national was conducting unlicensed medical procedures and three others were present to receive care.
