Kuwait MOH

World Philippines

Published

Hi,

I am new to this site and I found it very informative. This would be my first post. I would just like to know if anybody on this board wrote the Kuwait MOH exam last March 18 in PICC? I believe there were 3 agencies who facilitated the exam and interview. In my case I passed the exam and was interviewed by the Kuwait MOH delegates last March 24 at Diamond Hotel- Manila. The agency called me up informing me that I passed the interview and wait for further instructions for the next step. I would just like to hear how many of us are awaiting for possible deployment to Kuwait and any update as to your case will be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks.

@sophieanne1213: I think both private and government hospital applications takes almost the same time frame. It is about 6 months to 9 months to 1 year. We MOH (Government hospitals) batch 2011 applicants had our exam last March 18 and it was just last August when deployment started and it is also by batch. Many had been deployed already while a few are still waiting for flight confirmation, final medical exam and final processing.

There is another forum at http://www.workabroad.ph (just click forum) and try to search for the thread "Nurses for Kuwait". There you can somehow find some answers to your question since there are also some discussions with private hospital applications.

hi there!.. im just new in this, and this forum is very interesting and informative to me to other nurses who are planning to work in kuwait.. actually i already applied to an agency last sept 24.. we have a scheduled kuwait MOH exam but it was postponed.. am a bit confused now 'cause some of you are still waiting for visas and scheduled flight and some of you are waiting for almost 6months to 1 year.. are you guys still working as nurse here? i just want to ask also if are you being notified by your agency for a month before going to kuwait? which of the agencies who facilitate the kuwait MOH is best? thank you!

@rochie rmb:After we were hired (passed the exam and interview) we were informed that the processing of our visa will take about 4-6 months so most of us did not resigned from our hospital jobs. In my case, I resigned just last August 31 when I was informed that my visa was released and I should prepare for Final Medical Exam. Some of my co-applicants are still currently working specially those who are near Metro Manila.

Our agency and most agencies gives notices in advance wherein you can have time to make arrangements like resignation, travel to and from Manila..etc.

ADM is a very reliable agency. Of the 3 agencies (ADM, Mother's Way, Best One) who facilitated our application, it's ADM who already deployed almost 80% of their applicants todate if I'm not mistaken. I'm under Best One and they are very behind in terms of number of applicants deployed than ADM. I also heard applicants from Mother's Way that their application process is also slow.

Hope this helps. Good Luck Nurses !!!

@rochie rmb: Sad to say that we are still waiting for our Medical Exam referral. We cannot proceed since our visa is still there in Kuwait and in limbo. We are still patiently waiting for it, but MOH gave assurance that we will be deployed somehow.

I'm also almost zero with regards to knowledge anything about Kuwait companies. Just be sure that you are applying for government-bound hospitals in Kuwait because the salary is 3 times as to that of private hospitals. It's like 700KD for government hospitals while for private it's about 200-250KD.

Best of Luck to you.

About the subcons, I think we have to deal with it the way it is since Kuwait Government already implemented this program for their locals to earn. Anyway, what is stipulated in the contract does not change even with the entry of the subcons.

I am looking to work there in Kuwait just for my contract duration which is 2 years. I'm one way or another taking a detour while waiting for my Priority Date for my approved US employment-based petition. If this will push through it would be ok, but if not, it can't be helped.

@rochie rmb: Subcons in Kuwait are all private but they are under the supervision of Kuwait Ministry of Health. I am however bound for government hospital. My salary offer is 715KD. If you have 3 years or more hospital experience better apply for government hospital deployment. I think they will be conducting exam and interview this coming December.

More power Filipino Nurses!!!
