India Medical Tourism Destination Kuwait 2011 on Nov 2-3 Traveling abroad for serious medical treatments is an arduous task that demands well-thought out planning. For those who can afford it, the cost of a procedure such as heart or liver transplant and hip replacement is not the top priority as much as a guaranteed successful outcome.

In the wealthy Gulf countries, especially, reputable doctors are sought out for these super-specialties as quality health care infrastructure is not readily available to date. Thousands of Arab patients flock to medical destinations such as the US, UK, and Germany as they are known for best-quality professionals and top-notch medical technologies.

Winter this year will be marked with dusty and fluctuating weather, Kuwaiti astronomer Dr Saleh Al-Ojairi told Al-Qabas daily, adding “the cold would be severe, especially at nights.”

Referring to the dust wave that hit the country on Sunday, Al-Ojairi said it will continue for the next two days and “temperatures will drop remarkably, with maximum temperatures around 34 degrees Celsius and minimum around 17 degrees Celsius.”

According to Al-Ojairi, the weather will be warm during Eid Al-Adha holidays. He predicted that rains would start from Nov 9, and advised people to start wearing woolens from Nov 26 onwards.

Steve Jobs, the Apple co-founder who resigned from the company in the mid-1980s and returned a decade later to make Apple one of the most successful technology companies in the world, has died.

Jobs had been struggling with his health for the last several years. In 2004 he underwent surgery to treat a rare form of pancreatic cancer. He returned to work soon after, but in early 2009 took six months off to treat what he called a "hormone imbalance" that made him appear gaunt and pale. During that leave he underwent a liver transplant. Early this year he took another, indefinite leave of absence to "focus on my health," as he put it, and on Aug. 24 he announced his resignation as CEO, with Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook taking over and Jobs elected board chairman, a position he held until his death.
