We can't satisfy clients without knowledgeable leadership and reliable staff. Our aim is to create a leadership that is customer-care oriented."

"I am pleased to celebrate the graduation of the Leadership Development Certificate Program; a program designed specifically for Al-Amiri Hospital managers, in line with their professional development goals. Al- Amiri hospital is one of the leading government hospitals in Kuwait, as new Kuwait 2035 plans unfold and come to reality, Al-Amiri Hospital's expansion will require different ways of working to accommodate the change." said Buthaina Al-Khubaizi, CCE Director. "The Leadership Development Certificate Program has been designed with change and leadership skills in mind, inspired by the combined vision of Al-Amiri Hospital and the Center for Continuing Education, the program will help contribute to the creation of the 'I Care' culture throughout the hospital. The journey of learning will continue by Al-Amiri Hospital's management team leading by example, what you do is so much more important than what you say."
