As research found out that Kuwait was living conditions of poor health , which provided the opportunity to be a risk for the spread of epidemics and diseases between now and then , were these epidemics kill people's lives and infect each other disabilities permanent , and this is what happens , for example , when infected human blindness result of exposure to the epidemic of smallpox. Despite holding several international conferences to reduce the spread of epidemics in the Arabian Gulf region , and exit a number of resolutions and recommendations , but it did not limit the spread of these epidemics. It seems that the purpose of this conference was to prevent the spread of epidemics coming from India towards the Arabian Gulf and Europe .
