Physician-Initiated Access Request in Kuwait

About Physician-Initiated Access Request

How Physician-Initiated Access Request works in Kuwait

Kuwait's Ministry of Health operates a Personal Import pathway for specialty drugs not registered locally, typically through a hospital pharmacy with physician attestation.

Patients in Kuwait seeking access under Physician-Initiated Access Request typically follow this flow: a licensed physician in Kuwait issues the prescription and clinical justification, the regulator reviews and authorises, and an authorised operator coordinates import.

Documents required in Kuwait

• Physician prescription and clinical-justification letter.

• Country-specific NPP/personal-import form.
• Hospital or clinic attestation where required.

Typical timeline

End-to-end 2-6 weeks in most tier 2 jurisdictions. Cellular and gene therapies may require additional ethics-committee review.
