Stranded for over six months, Filipino nurses have appealed to Kuwait Ministry of Health to allow entry.

They also asked for the assistance of Kuwait Ambassador to the Philippines Musaed Saleh Ahmad Al Thwaikh who vowed to do his best to help them by conveying their appeal to the Kuwaiti government.

The Kuwait government earlier banned residents coming from 34 countries with high cases of COVID-19 from flying directly to Kuwait but they can travel and stay in a country not in the ban list and stay there 14 days after which they can fly to Kuwait with the required PCR test.

The appeal comes after a total of 116 stranded Indian MOH nurses were allowed entry yesterday and had arrived in Kuwait night via a Chartered Kuwait Airways direct flight from India despite the entry ban imposed on 34 countries that included India and the Philippines.

Most of the Filipino staff has been stranded for more than six months now and some of their visas have already expired. They have earlier sought the help of the Philippine Embassy in July. According to them, the Philippine Embassy in Kuwait sent a letter to the MOH in July with the list of stranded MOH staff in the Philippines. However, to date, the group has been waiting for the MOH approval.
