Kuwait Health Ministry Plans Bariatric Surgeries
The Sudanese Minister of Health, Dr. Ahmed Abdel-Wahab Ahmed Al-Awadi, issued an organizational decision regulating obesity procedures and non-surgical interventional procedures in government and private healthcare facilities. The aim is to establish a clear framework for practicing these procedures according to strict standards. The decision specifies the types of bariatric surgeries permitted, such as gastric sleeve and gastric bypass, while nullifying any conflicting regulations. It also sets conditions for performing operations on children and adolescents aged 12 to 17, based on comprehensive assessment and parental approval. The decision emphasizes the importance of having specialized, skilled, and experienced surgeons in advanced procedures. Additionally, it regulates reconstructive surgeries and malabsorption procedures, mandates immediate reporting and documentation of any serious complications, and requires recording all operations in a national registry to ensure patient safety and quality of care.
