Policy Justification
Kuwait--Medical Information System for Kuwait Military Medical Command
(KMMC)
The Government of Kuwait has requested to buy planning,
integration, implementation, and maintenance of a Medical Information
System for its KMMC that consists of: Health Information Systems
Information Technology (IT) hardware and software, IT infrastructure,
implementation of life-cycle management practices, training,
maintenance, support and warranty services, along with U.S. Government
and contractor engineering, technical and logistics support services;
and other related elements of logistical and program support. The
estimated total cost is $250 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national
security objectives of the United States by helping to improve the
infrastructure of a Major Non-NATO ally that has been and continues to
be an important force for political stability and economic progress in
the Middle East.
This proposed sale will improve Kuwait's capability to provide
greater health security for its KMMC infrastructure. Kuwait will use
the enhanced capability to strengthen its medical services management.
Kuwait will have no difficulty absorbing this infrastructure, support,
and associated services into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the
basic military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be the Cerner Corporation, Kansas
City, Missouri. There are no known offset agreements proposed in
connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale will require the assignment of
as many as fifteen (15) additional U.S. Government or U.S. contractor
representatives to Kuwait for a duration of up to seven (7) years to
provide systems planning, implementation, management, and oversight.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
