Dar Al-Baraa Medical Center
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 57.4/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #7 of 15 ranked clinics · last checked 18 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Multi-department medical centre in Jabriya with a cosmetic surgery department and a dermatology department. One plastic surgeon is named with his role on both language fronts. No legal entity is named on the site and none was retrieved for it in the chamber register.
Google Maps listing (reference, not scored)
What the clinic's public Google Maps listing showed when we read it: the rating other people gave, the number of their reviews and the hours the clinic itself publishes there. This block is a reference only — it does not enter the score, the rank, the ceilings or the holds, and we have not checked it beyond matching the listing to this record.

Axis by axis
rubric value 1–5 · ? could not verify (no points, not a negative finding) · — not applicable: this country has no register of that class · OFF official register · SEC secondary source
| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Not applicable: this country has no Specialist board register. Kuwait publishes no specialty-board roster; axis not applicable. |
— | — | — | 2026-09-18 |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. The cosmetic surgery department names its surgeon with role at the single Jabriya address. [site-cosmetic] [site-contact] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Could not verify — this register is closed to machine queries in this country, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for every clinic on this site. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register closed to machine queries. Last attempt: asps_international, 18 September 2026 — Run for Dr. Sherif Bakri, consultant plastic surgeon of the cosmetic surgery department: not in the ISAPS Kuwait member list (13 members) and not in the ASPS Kuwait international-member list (5 members). Neither route publishes a Kuwaiti licence number, a licence status or an expiry date, so the licence datum cannot be obtained from any reachable source. The Ministry of Health Health Licensing Department search is not reachable by any scripted request from outside Kuwait: DNS resolves but no TCP session is established, re-proved on 2026-09-18 from two independent egresses (see registry-map closedAttempt). No claim either way. |
? | ? | 8 | 2026-09-18 |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — this register is closed to machine queries in this country, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for every clinic on this site. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register closed to machine queries. Last attempt: none_found, 18 September 2026 — No secondary route to a Kuwaiti facility register exists: the search of 2026-09-18 recorded in registry-map facility_registry.secondarySearchLog returned nothing of this class. The clinic publishes no facility licence number of its own on the pages re-read on 2026-09-18, so the clinic-published anchor does not apply. The Ministry of Health facility search runs on the same host as the licence search and is not reachable by any scripted request from outside Kuwait (re-proved 2026-09-18). No claim either way. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-18 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability Only a brand, without a legal form and without a responsible person. Whatever we find ourselves is shown on the profile as a fact and does not raise this cell. The site carries the centre's brand only and names no company; the chamber register was queried by the Arabic trade name and by the site domain and returned no matching entry. [site-contact] [kcci] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. No licence, registration or accreditation numbers published on the site. [site-contact] [site-cosmetic] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. A small number of unattributed superlatives in physician descriptions. [site-doctors] As a Fellow of top surgical colleges in the UK and US, Dr. Obaid Al Harbi is a leading consultant |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency All load-bearing fields agree. Mechanical comparison of 3 language fronts (en, ar, x-العربية) on 2026-09-18: every matched physician name, phone number and published number appears on every front. [fronts] |
SEC | 5 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M9 | Patient documents One. The department FAQ publishes recovery times and post-operative care; no consent form, risk list, revision policy or complaint route found. [site-cosmetic] |

Score ceilings
No ceiling applies. We never apply one on 'not found' alone.
Holds
No hold on this profile.
Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.
| Identifiable: live public surface + working in-country contact | verified yes [site-contact] |
|---|---|
| Provides the service itself (not an aggregator, booking site or tour packager) | verified yes [site-cosmetic] |
| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site-cosmetic] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site-cosmetic] [site-doctors] |
Who is responsible
Named physicians and the legal entity, as published and as matched in the registers. A missing number is a statement about disclosure, not about licensing.
| Physician | Role | Register ID |
|---|---|---|
| Dr. Sherif Bakri [site-cosmetic] [site-doctors-ar] | Consultant plastic surgeon, cosmetic surgery department | not published |
Legal entity: could not verify
Scope and procedure segments

What we could not verify
- M3 · Basic medical licence — Register closed to machine queries
- M4 · Facility registration — Register closed to machine queries
These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.
