Visa violators pursued in hospitals
KUWAIT: The Interior Ministry has urged the Health Ministry to report any patients admitted to its hospitals with expired visas so that they could be turned in pending legal procedures and deportation, well-informed sources said. Both ministries are currently coordinating to arrest all illegal residents hospitalized in various public hospitals and medical centers and to report on anyone already discharged after receiving medical treatment, the sources added. The measure was taken to help authorities track down visa violators and reduce their numbers. The move came after the Interior Ministry received information about expatriates in violation of residency visa laws or expired visas currently hospitalized. The sources added that hospitals had already been contacted to turn in these expats, but their administrations refused with the excuse that they were patients receiving medical treatment. “That is why Interior Ministry contacted Health Ministry and all hospitals were notified to report and turn in such cases,†explained the sources. —Al-Anbaa Swine flu KUWAIT: Three children were hospitalized at Amiri Hospital and diagnosed with swine flu, sources said. The three cases created a state of confusion at the hospital, the sources noted, adding that a doctor in charge asked the parents of other hospitalized children to take them home as the hospital needed the beds for the swine flu cases. The number of swine flu infections seems to be increasing lately as a number of other cases had been also detected at Adan Hospital last month, the sources warned. —Al-Jarida Sources:kuwaittimes http://news.kuwaittimes.net/visa-violators-pursued-in-hospitals/ |
