MOH-KW Exam for Dietitians
Everything dietitians need to pass the Ministry of Health – Kuwait (MOH-KW) licensing exam in Kuwait — format, fees, passing score, syllabus focus and the fastest way to prepare.
The MOH-KW pathway for dietitians
Clinical dietitians are licensed under allied health with a Prometric exam covering medical nutrition therapy, clinical assessment and food-service management. The Gulf's high diabetes and obesity prevalence keeps clinical nutrition roles in steady demand.
Medical nutrition therapy for diabetes, renal disease and critical care dominates the paper — community nutrition and food science appear but carry less weight.
Kuwait MOH regulates every healthcare professional practising in the country. Read the full MOH-KW licensing guide for the complete document checklist and fee breakdown.
