It has progressively established a nationwide network of modern health services that are accessible even at the village level and have ranked Oman with the developed world. More than 300 surgeons provide a full range of surgical services for a population of 2.5 million.

Given the sustained growth and dynamic planning, the surgical services will continue to develop, with Omani surgeons playing an increasing role in the future.
