I desperately need dental surgery for my teeth. Today I got two teeth extracted from my mouth and will be getting two more extracted in a few days. After the extraction the doctor recommended surgery. But on a forum in IIK I discovered that the public hospitals don't do surgery for expats??? Is this true for Al Mubarak Al kabeer? Is it compulsary for me to get it done the operation done in a private hospital now? Can I get the surgery done through a VASTA???
Can expats get orthodontic surgery done in Kuwait government hospitals

Thankyou for your reply. I am trying for Dr Javed parker. We might get an appointment with him and I am hoping to get some consultation done. Also I have a vasta in the military hospital. I hope everything works out well for my surgery.
