About

Oman

This nation on the Arabian Peninsula has terrain encompassing desert, riverbed oases and long coastlines on the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea. The Sultanate of Oman has a population of more than 4.6 million and is ranked 64th in the world in terms of nominal GDP. It has a relatively diversified economy, but still remains dependent on oil exports. Similar to some of its neighbors, tourism is the fastest-growing industry in the destination, while agriculture and infrastructure still play an important role. Its government sees a diversified economy as a priority to succeed in the future.

Omani nationals have free access to the destination’s public healthcare, but expatriates do not, which allows for a private healthcare sector to co-exist in the destination. Expatriates look for healthcare at private hospitals and clinics around the destination and usually pay out-of-pocket. Public healthcare is perceived as being of high quality for a middle income destination, which pushes the quality of the private sector high and gives them an opportunity to be able to compete in the medical tourism industry for incoming patients.
