KUWAIT, March 4 (Reuters) - Kuwait's government resigned on Sunday, parliament members said, in a move aimed at thwarting a planned no-confidence motion against a health minister who is also a member of the ruling family.

"I have been informed that the government has presented its resignation," parliament member De'ij al-Shammari told Reuters.
