RAMADAN 1436 UPDATE: Kuwait announces Thursday, 18/06/2015 as First day of Ramadan 1436. (CLICK HERE for Source)

RAMADAN 1436 UPDATE: Kuwait's Crescent Sighting Authority is meeting on TUESDAY (16/06/2015) to confirm whether Wednesday or Thursday will be 1st of Ramadan based on the sighting of the Moon.

Ramadan 1436 which coincides with June-July 2015 leads to some changes in Kuwait. The working hours of employees for government sector reduces from 35 hours a week to 25 hours a week. On the other hand, for private firms, it is reduced from 48 hours to 36 hours a week. Basically, 2 hours is removed from each day. This is the privilege that the government of Kuwait provides for the people during the month of Ramadan. The official timings for the government sectors are provided by the Assistant Undersecretary for Diwan Affairs & Manpower at the Civil Service Commission (CSC) which are as follows(Based on Cirular no 1-2015 dated 03/06/2015):

The following government bodies are functioning from 9:30 am to 2:00 pm.

  • Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
  • Public Authority for Youth and Sports.
  • Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs.
  • Environment Public Authority.
  • Ministry of Justice
  • Public Authority for Industry.
  • Ministry of Public Works.
  • Public Authority of Minor Affairs.
  • Ministry of Higher Education.

Rest of the government bodies will work from 10:00 am to 2:30 pm.


Words of caution, the work pace in the month of Ramadan in Kuwait slow down. Also, for the above mentioned times, people will be taking break during the Noon prayers (Zuhr) which is around 11:50 am. So one will not find people sitting at the tables between 11:50 am till around 12:30 pm. So one should keep this in mind as one's patience will be tested.

Sunday 25/01/2015 is a holiday

Three days of mourning has been declared in Kuwait following the news of demise of the Saudi Arabian King Abdulla bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud. He passed away in the early hours of Friday (around 1 am). State of Kuwait declared a three day morning starting Friday, 23/01/2015 and will last up to Sunday, 25/01/2015. Consecutively, other departments and organisations have been declaring their suspension of activities for these three days. (SOURCE: CLICK HERE for the KUNA article)

Civil Service Commission (CSC) Kuwait has decided to shutdown the government ministries and departments for these three days. Therefore everyone will return to active duty starting Monday, 26/01/2015. Union of Kuwaiti Banks has also announced that they will not open on Sunday for business.

In Kuwait, as the events of Hala February is going on and many events are scheduled during January and February, Therefore some of these events have been suspended and postponed. Therefore people should inquire about the events in advance. The Organizing committee of the Fifth National Heritage Festival announced the suspension of their activities.

Eid al Fitr 2013

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) Kuwait had announced the number of official holidays on the occasion of Eid Al-Fitr (year 2013 corresponding to Hijri Calender year 1434, 1st day of Shawwal - Month 10 on the Lunar Calender) to be 4 days (Four Days). If Eid falls on Thursday August 8, then work will resume on Monday, August 12. If Eid falls on Friday August 9, then work will resume on Tuesday, August 13. (CLICK HERE for source of article)

In other news, the Crescent sighting Authorities for Saudi Arabia (The supreme court) and Kuwait will be sitting out on Tuesday August 6, 2013 which is a day earlier than the previously stated one. During this time anyone who views the Crescent  can contact the Authorities. If the crescent is not seen, then the authorities will reconvene on Wednesday, August 7. (CLICK HERE for the source of Saudi Arabia's Supreme Court crescent sighting authority) (CLICK HERE for the source of Kuwait's Crescent Sighting Authority).

Now based on the re-scheduling of the crescent sighting authorities, I assume that if Eid falls on Wednesday August 7, then the 4 days official holidays will still stand, then work will resume on Sunday, August 11. No official circular/statement has been announced with regard to this. This kind of Oddity has happened before around 30 years back. (where Ramadan was for 28 days, therefore to complete fasting of Ramadan which is either 29 or 30; people kept a day extra after Eid that year.)

The EID prayer takes place in the early morning hours just after sunrise ( approx. 15 mins after sunrise) on the 1st Day of Shawwal which is an official holiday by the government in Kuwait. The time for the prayer in Kuwait works out to 5:27 am. There are Mosques/Masjids in Kuwait which have Regional language Khutbah / Sermon after the Eid prayers (under the watchful eyes of the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs). These Masjids tend to start the Eid Prayers a little late at around 8 am.

CLICK on these previous Posts about RAMADAN 2013 and RAMADAN 2013 Grand Mosque Qiyam ul Layl.

UPDATE (06/8/2013): The Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs has informed all the masjids about tomorrow, 07/8/2013, Wednesday being 29th Ramadan 1434. So today night we get another chance to attend Taraweeh and Qiyam ul Layl prayers. Tomorrow evening, once again the Crescent sighting committee will convene to spot the crescent.

UPDATE (07/8/2013) (7:55 pm KWT time +3 GMT) : Kuwait Crescent Sighting Committee officially just announced that August 8th, 2013, Thursday will be the 1st Day of Shawwal 1434. EID MUBARAK to all.

Kuwait Central Blood Bank Updated



UPDATE (16/11/2021)
Locations of the various Blood banks across Kuwait.



(10/04/2012) Post

Kuwait's health system is something we can talk about which will lead to many posts. But for this particular post, I would like to talk about the Central Blood Bank which is located in Jabriya next to Mubarak Al-Kabeer Hospital. I have been to the blood bank on many occasions, not on the receiving side but to give blood. My friends and me used to give blood when we were studying at college in India and it kind of became a habit. One fine day, I dropped by at the Kuwait Central Blood Bank after I was able to located it on Google Maps.There is sufficient parking available and also one can get down (By Bus) at Al-Bahar Center, Tunis Street, Hawally and walk 200 meters to the Blood Bank. The timings for the Blood bank are as follows:
  • Sunday - Thursday - 7 am to 8:30 pm
  • Friday - 1 pm to 7 pm
  • Saturday - 7 am to 7 pm
The process of giving blood is simple for first timers or for regular donors. Once you enter, you just have to give your Civil ID card so that they can check their system. For first timers, they will ask you to give some basic information like phone number and language of preference for answering the questionnaire. My language preference is entered as English so whenever I give my civil ID they just print out the questionnaire in English for me, while for my friends who opted for Arabic it prints out in Arabic every single time (unless you feel like changing it). Once I answer the basic questions (look below for the sample of the questionnaire), my blood pressure, Blood sugar and body temperature is monitored and entered into the system. If the values are other than normal, then you can visit the doctors in the next cabin to get a free consultation. Once you enter the blood donation room, it is time to sit back and relax and let the nurses take care of the process. It varies from 5- 25 minutes. During that time you can browse through your smart phone , no restrictions applied here for the phones. You get a complimentary juice (KDD). One can return back, to give blood after a period of 2-4 months. Also many government bodies and companies organize Blood Donation Camps once in a while on their own premises (under the watchful eye of the Kuwait Central Blood Bank or the Ministry of Health), one can give during those campaigns.

UPDATE (16/08/2013): Regular Timings
  • Sunday to Thursday - 7 am to 9 pm
  • Friday - 1 pm to 7 pm
  • Saturday - 7 am to 7 pm.

Due to the month of Ramadan and Eid-Al-Fitr, the donations were on a decline. Therefore the general storage reduced a little bit. MoH is intensifying blood donation campaigns to restore the strategic storage at the Central Blood Bank. Kuwait Army launches Blood Donation Campaign, CLICK HERE to see the article. Another Campaign took place in Ministry of Electricity and Water, MEW on Sunday, 10/08/2014. Both Citizens and Expatriates are encouraged to donate at Kuwait Central Blood Bank, Jabriya.

Platelet donors requirements - Age above 17 years and the weight of the person should be above 50 kgs. Also the interested donor should not be taking painkillers or antibiotics for 5 days before the donation process.
Blood Platelets donation is the second type of donation done at the Blood Bank, where the platelets are drawn through the separator device and the rest of the blood components are restored/returned to the donor. Usually done in Room No 5. Once the screening process is finished and the blood test report, Blood Pressure and other preliminary checks are done and verified. The donor is given a green signal for a go ahead for Platelet donations which can last up 90 minutes. So advice is to get a book to read or atleast charge your phones & get used to using it with a single hand.
