KUWAIT, June 27 (KUNA) -- Thirty eight couples appeared in the first day of opening the new pre-marital examination center in Mubarak Al-Kabir Governorate, a health ministry official said Sunday.
"It is a successful start, with work smoothly flowing and applicants voicing content over quick and easy procedures," Director of Pre-marriage Center of the Department of Social Health in the Ministry of Health Dr. Yaqoub Al-Kandari told KUNA.
Four centers are now operative, less than a year after opening the Mubarak Al-Kabir center, as all centers are fitted with all the necessary equipment and supplies, as well as all technical and administrative crews and will operate through an integrated automated program, he added.
He stressed that the new center will facilitate and save time and effort of residents of Al-Ahmadi and Mubarak Al-Kabir areas.
The rate of safe marriage certificates that have been issued so far since the application of the pre-marital examination last August is 97 percent of those that are submitted for examination, Al-Kandari pointed out.
Test results take some five days to come out and are valid for six months to authenticate that couples are free from contagious or hereditary diseases.- Kuna
