Dr. Entisar Alhendal: The Visionary Doctor Reshaping Kuwait’s Health Culture
In a region where chronic lifestyle diseases are on the rise, Dr. Entisar Sabr Al Hendal stands as a transformative figure who is not only diagnosing and treating illness but rewriting the healthcare narrative in Kuwait. With over two decades of experience in family and preventive medicine, she is emerging as one of the most influential medical professionals in the Gulf—a practitioner, leader, educator, and public voice committed to long-term health outcomes for individuals and communities alike.
As Consultant in Family Medicine and Head of the Health Promotion Division at Ahmadi Hospital, under the Kuwait Oil Company (KOC), Dr. Entisar is much more than a physician in a white coat. She is the strategic mind behind national awareness campaigns, including the widely recognized “Yes, We Can Cut Sugar” movement—a campaign that has shifted public dialogue around sugar consumption and its link to diabetes, obesity, and chronic fatigue. Her initiative, under the Arabic banner #نقدر_نقطع_السكر, has gone viral, transforming social media into a tool for behavioral change. Her Instagram handle, @Doctor75, has become a trusted destination for simple, science-backed advice that empowers people to make healthier daily choices.
Armed with the prestigious MRCGP (UK) and memberships in both the UK Royal College of General Practitioners and the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine, Dr. Entisar blends clinical excellence with aesthetic insights. Her approach to beauty is not superficial; it is scientific, holistic, and rooted in wellness. She believes beauty radiates from health, not the other way around. Whether addressing hormone imbalances, stress, or skin issues, she integrates both internal and external wellbeing—a method that resonates deeply in a region where aesthetic medicine is often viewed in isolation from primary care.
But it’s not just her patients who benefit from her work. As a mentor and public educator, Dr. Entisar has trained countless healthcare professionals, delivered workshops across Kuwait’s leading institutions, and spoken at international conferences from Abu Dhabi to Belgium. She has served as a steering committee member for KOC’s Occupational Health Conference and has been a frequent speaker at national platforms such as the Kuwait Family Medicine Conference. Her leadership extends beyond the clinic into education, public health strategy, and media outreach.
Her presence in media is equally dynamic. She has written for newspapers, authored children's health stories, and hosted multiple radio programs under themes such as “عياده على الهوا” and “بودكاست طبي.” A familiar face on Kuwait’s popular medical show "كلام دكاترة," Dr. Entisar is known for her ability to demystify medical jargon and connect with audiences through clarity and compassion.
Behind her professional achievements lies a relentless commitment to ethics and excellence. Her legal and professional interests are safeguarded by Mr. Ahmed Alhendal, ensuring her voice remains protected in an era where digital visibility can sometimes blur boundaries.
Recognized by leaders at the highest level—including an award presented by the late Amir of Kuwait, Sh. Sabah Al Ahmad—Dr. Entisar’s work is as impactful as it is inspiring. She continues to contribute to strategic health projects, educational content, and public outreach with a vision for a healthier, more informed Kuwait.
With eyes on the future, she is laying the groundwork for broader initiatives: digital wellness programs, educational podcasts, school collaborations, and more. Her mission remains unchanged—to empower individuals to take ownership of their health and live better, longer lives.
In a world overloaded with quick fixes and misinformation, Dr. Entisar Alhendal offers something rare: credibility, clarity, and care. Through her leadership, Kuwait’s healthcare conversation is shifting—from reactive treatment to proactive transformation.
