About DAWI

Creating a More Connected Healthcare Ecosystem.

Built in Kuwait, DAWI is a digital health platform transforming how patients access healthcare through appointments, online consultations, second opinions, and on-demand urgent care.

What started as a simpler way to book doctor appointments has evolved into a growing healthcare ecosystem connecting patients, doctors, clinics, hospitals, and digital healthcare services through one integrated platform. Today, DAWI works with leading healthcare providers while continuing to expand its healthcare network and digital infrastructure across the GCC.
