Last updated on Apr 20, 2023
Summary: The quality of medical care in Oman is generally considered to be good, with many hospitals and clinics offering a wide range of services. However, the quality of care may not be as high as in the United States. Emergency services in Oman are generally reliable and efficient, with ambulances available to respond to medical emergencies. To call for an ambulance, you can dial 9999 or 112 from any phone.
How are healthcare services Oman?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Oman, they replied:
"Oman offers a comprehensive healthcare system, with both public and private services available. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and provides free or low-cost services to citizens and legal residents. The quality of public healthcare is generally good, with modern facilities and well-trained staff. Foreign residents are able to access the public healthcare system, although they may be required to pay a fee. Expats in Oman can use the public healthcare system, but they may need to pay for some services. Private healthcare is also available in Oman, and many expats opt to use private services due to the higher quality of care and shorter waiting times," said one expat.
