A Comparison of the Health Sector in Kuwait and Somalia

Alberto Klaas and Mara Galaty

Chapter 15 in The Least Developed and the Oil-Rich Arab Countries, 1992, pp 229-241 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter relies heavily on information from the World Health Organisation in its 1987 publication Seventh Report on the World Health Situation. It will show that development possibilities for each Arab country vary, depending on available and existing resources. A comparison of Kuwait and Somalia illustrates the vast gap between two health systems based on similar principles, yet with very different available resources.
