Abstract
Kuwait is aspiring to be amongst the top countries in the world in the provision of healthcare services to its people. To do this, issues surrounding information availability, data security, and data privacy must be addressed. Hospitals struggle with providing access to (possibly sensitive and critical) data at the right levels, at the right time, while ensuring seamless service. In this paper, we propose a cloud-based system for hospitals and healthcare institutions in Kuwait that takes steps towards solving these issues.
