I don't know about Kuwait but generally within the entire GCC (And varies from country to country), only Hep B and C are the diseases you need to worry about.

Hepatitis A is curable (And that's why they don't deport for it)
Hepatitis B is not curable but you can prevent it through vaccination (last for 10-15 years and then you get booster shots to keep it going)
Hepatitis C is not curable and there is no vaccine
