Article Synopsis
- Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is becoming the standard for clinical judgment in Kuwait, and its implementation among physicians in government hospitals could enhance public health.
- A study surveyed 439 physicians, revealing low knowledge of EBM with an average score of 13 out of 20, but many had positive attitudes toward its promotion.
- Awareness of EBM resources was limited, with 'Up-to-date' being the most recognized, while lack of investment by health-care authorities was cited as a major barrier to its practice.
