Lawyer Khaled Mufrej Al-Dalmani: Is it permissible for a doctor to publish photos of patients in Kuwait?

️ The complete legal answer according to Kuwaiti law and the provisions of the Court of Cassation

A question that is frequently asked in Kuwait:

Is it permissible for a doctor or hospital to photograph a patient and publish before-and-after photos of them? The short answer is:

Patient photos or information may not be published without their explicit consent.

Any publication without that exposes the doctor or medical entity to legal liability and compensation.
