World Health Day – 50th Anniversary of the Discovery of Insulin - 20 fils

This stamp commemorates World Health Day 1971 and marks the 50th anniversary of the discovery of insulin (1921–1971). The discovery of insulin by Canadian researchers Frederick Banting and Charles Best, working with colleagues at the University of Toronto, revolutionized the treatment of diabetes and transformed a once-fatal disease into a manageable medical condition.

The anniversary served as a reminder of the importance of medical research and international cooperation in improving public health. By issuing this stamp, Kuwait joined countries around the world in recognizing one of the most significant achievements in modern medicine and highlighting the ongoing fight against diabetes and other chronic diseases.
