An article via Kuwait Samachar, excerpt :
" KUWAIT: Assistant Undersecretary for Public Health at the Ministry of Health Dr. Yousef Al-Nisf said that each health zone is responsible for the proper procedures in dealing with any case of swine flu that may occur in their jurisdiction. He said that a memo was issued earlier in this regard.
In a statement to Al Watan, which reported the death of a Kuwaiti girl from the H1N1 virus (swine flu) according to the death certificate issued by the hospital on Nov. 6, Al-Nisf said that the Public Health Sector was not informed on the death, due to the fact that the sector only intervenes in cases of epidemics. He confirmed that the instructions from Minister of Health Dr. Hilal Al-Sayer say that the Director of each Health Zone has the jurisdictions of a minister in regards to dealing with any medical cases.
Regarding the H1N1 virus in general, Al-Nisf pointed out that the World Health Organization reported, in its recent news bulletins and reports, that the world is no longer under a level six alert but is in the post-epidemic stage. He added that any individual cases can be dealt with by the ministry."
