Minister of Health Dr Jamal Al-Harbi has formed a committee to investigate the truth about doctors who allegedly graduated from the Arts section in secondary stage, reports Annahar daily.

In a statement, Al-Harbi noted the most important aspect of the issue involves a doctor who earned a certificate from an international university, which Kuwait does not recognize. He stressed the entire scenario will become clear when investigation is concluded by the Ministry of Higher Education in that regard.

The Ministry of Health has denied statements alleging that Minister Al- Harbi hired an attorney to recover the money squandered by the health office in Germany, affirming the minister did not issue any press statement concerning the medical offices abroad.
