Enhancing the availability of care through eHealth

With a resilient IT infrastructure, high digital penetration and a growing young population, one need  the nation had was to make healthcare available to all its citizens.

Ministry of Health, Sultanate of Oman’s initiative to establish a digital health network aims at bringing the Office of the Minister, Undersecretary Offices and Healthcare facilities under one roof while helping the residents, patients, and businesses to avail e-services.

Taking this further, MOH entrusted ICT HEALTH with the responsibility of implementing their national e-health strategy. The scope on a broader perspective was to build a connected healthcare environment as a part of strategic plan towards digital transformation.  However, the fundamental aspects of bringing accountability and transparency into the system remain apparent.
