The Ministry of Health in Kuwait is preparing to launch a new “smart fingerprint” system to monitor employee attendance and departure at health facilities across the country. This initiative aims to improve accountability and streamline attendance tracking. The system will initially undergo a test phase before its official roll-out.

Activation of the Smart Fingerprint System

According to health sources, the Ministry has instructed all sectors and health regions to submit detailed information about the departments and health facilities located outside the Ministry's General Office. This data collection will support the activation of the fingerprint attendance system.

Test Phase and Full Implementation

Once all necessary procedures are completed, the "smart fingerprint" system will be tested on an experimental basis. The system's official launch will follow after successful testing. The Ministry aims to ensure a smooth transition for all employees who will be required to use the fingerprint system during official working hours, all shifts, and overtime.

Employee Compliance and Health Facility Requirements

The Ministry has urged all health sectors and facilities to remind their staff about the mandatory use of the fingerprint system. Employees are expected to consistently use the system to register their attendance, ensuring that all working hours, shifts, and overtime are properly tracked.

Expected Benefits of the Smart Fingerprint System

The introduction of the smart fingerprint system is expected to enhance the accuracy of attendance tracking and improve overall operational efficiency in Kuwait's health sector. The system is designed to be quick and reliable, reducing manual errors and ensuring that all employees comply with official attendance protocols.
