With an extensive public health service, there are many hospitals and clinics in Oman that provide high standards of medical treatment. There are approximately 49 Ministry of Health hospitals in Oman and many health centers and preventative health centers. However, costs are high for foreigners and health insurance is essential. Hospital costs in Oman vary according to luxurious and modest hospitals.
Hospitals in Oman provide medical services such as outpatient consultation, general practitioners, antenatal clinics, vaccination, diabetes, mother-baby and child health clinics, and physiotherapy services. Other supporting services include laboratory facilities, a pharmacy, an X-ray unit and a medical administration section. Emergency assistance is available 24 hours per day.
Omani nationals and expats from surrounding GCC countries are entitled to free medical treatment in the public hospitals in Oman. Other expats are expected to pay but are only permitted to use public hospitals in the case of an emergency or if treatment is unavailable in private hospitals. Those expats who work in the Government sector may receive free medical care for themselves and their dependents.
Expats tend to generally use the private healthcare facilities in Oman. Many of the private hospitals have been compared to five-star hotels in terms of facilities and services provided. One of the largest private hospitals in Oman is the Muscat Private Hospital and has trained staff from all over the world.
