The Civil Service Commission in the State of Kuwait approved the proposal of the Minister of Health, Ahmed Al-Awadhi, regarding obtaining sick leave without medical consultation via electronic platforms.

Pursuant to the approval, the Information Systems Sector, in cooperation with the electronic means of the Ministry of Health, is working on completing the procedures required to launch this new service as soon as it is completed, so that the employee can obtain sick leave without visiting the health center, provided that the duration of the sick leave granted to the employee through electronic means does not exceed 3 days a month.

For its part, sources believed that the cooperation of the Bureau and the Ministry of Health would be excellent through the “Sahl” application to enable everyone wishing to obtain a license to submit their application, quoting the Kuwaiti newspaper, Al-Anbaa.

The Minister of Health informed the Bureau of the controls for sick leave, which is leave with full pay for the first fifteen days, leave with half pay for the second fifteen days, leave with a quarter of pay for the third fifteen days, in addition to leave without pay for the last fifteen days.
