Can Biomedical Engineering provide Assessment and Therapy to Kuwaiti Hospitals?

Biomedical Engineering provides combination of medical and engineering tools to study and to evaluate several types of disorders and diseases such as abnormal walking, abnormal cardiac activity, chronic respiration syndrome and hematologic illness. Also, the biomedical engineer in countries which have advanced hospitals helps in the treatment and the therapy such as using orthopedic and artificial limb principles to treat a patient with abnormal walking or using the tools of engineering to install a pace maker in a patient who has abnormal cardiac activity and etc.
Therefore, the issue of using Biomedical engineering in the assessment and therapy in Kuwaiti hospitals has been raised recently to see if it is applicable or not.
