Our earlier experience in

➡️ survival to hospital discharge 45% (55 vs 41% for new vs experienced centers)

What’s also important I believe is the proportion of those eligible for the vaccine and have actually registered. Because if of 2M expat 0.25M register vs 0.9M Kuwaiti 0.25 register, then the reason for disparity might originate there ?
