Brief History
 
The Company with its Medical & Scientific Division was established in Kuwait in 1971.
The Med & Sci Division was and still continues to supply the Ministry of Health and other private medical Clinics in Kuwait with all types of medical equipment such as wheelchairs, laboratory supplies etc.
 
Director
 
Mr. Ali S. Al-Adsani was appointed as Director of the The Med & Sci Division upon his return from the UK in 1997 after serving for nearly 20 years as a Diplomat holding the position of Health Attache in Kuwait Health Office at 40 Devonshire st. , london W1.
 
Function
 
Because of his experience and extensive knowledge of the UK Hospitals and consultants, Mr. Al-Adsani has developed a new service aimed at helping private Kuwaiti and non-Kuwaiti nationals who require high quality diagnostics and treatment in the UK.

Investigations & Admission
 
All outpatient investigations and admission are to be carried out within the HCA group of hospitals where possible.
If its necessary for specialist reasons to admit an Al-Abraq patient to a non-HCA hospital, the patient should be transferred to an appropriate HCA unit
( as soon as the patient's condition permits ).
 
Payments
 
All Al-Abraq private patients are responsible for settling their own accounts unless authorised by a letter of guarantee from Mr. Keith Erskine, International Medical Liason, HCA International consultants, hospitals, nursing homes and any other medical department must make sure that the patient settles his account before departure to Kuwait as it is extremely difficult to trace the patient in Kuwait for any outstanding account.
 
Information about patients
 
Every patient has reference number - e.g. ABRAQ 001/01
This number is very important and must be used in all correspondence.
Every patient will be given an admission form with full details about his admission.
Every patient will have an introduction letter addressed to the consultant to be presented during the first consultation.
If the consultant wishes to refer the patient to another colleague or admit to hospital, we would very much appreciate that Mrs. Baz would be informed of this action. This will help us to follow the patient's movements.
 
Finally
 
Al-Abraq Co. is committed to ensuring that its patients receive the highest quality diagnostics and care and has chosen HCA Hospitals as its prime Uk healthcare provider.
