Kuwait will conduct medical screening tests to ‘detect’ homosexuals who attempt to get into the Gulf kingdom, according to a senior official. Yousouf Mindkar, director of public health at the Kuwaiti Health Ministry, said that the routine clinical screening of expatriates coming into the Gulf Cooperation Countries (GCC) will include tests to identify lGBT people who will then be banned from entering the country.
“Health centres conduct the routine medical check to assess the health of the expatriates when they come into the GCC countries,” he told local daily Al Rai. “However, we will take stricter measures that will help us detect gays who will be then barred from entering Kuwait or any of the GCC member States.”
