MUSCAT: The Directorate General of Khoula Hospital has announced the launch of three major healthcare initiatives under the slogan “We Continue: Renewed Initiatives, Advanced Care.” These initiatives aim to advance specialized surgical care and address growing demands in critical medical fields. The programs include performing 1,000 endoscopic orthopedic surgeries focusing on the shoulder, knee, and ankle, 600 spinal surgeries, and 500 bariatric surgeries. This effort reflects the hospital’s ongoing strategy to expand its medical capabilities while tackling pressing healthcare challenges.
The launch ceremony, held under the patronage of Dr. Hilal Ali Al Sabti, Minister of Health, underscored the government’s strong support for strengthening Oman’s healthcare system. The initiatives are designed to not only increase the number of advanced procedures conducted annually but also to introduce sustainable solutions that improve patient access to timely and specialized treatments. By setting measurable goals, the hospital demonstrates its dedication to accountability and long-term medical progress.
These new initiatives build upon the success of the first edition of programs introduced last year, which delivered measurable improvements in medical and therapeutic services. The earlier initiatives were aimed at ensuring service continuity, enhancing sustainability, and addressing operational challenges such as long waiting lists. Through those efforts, the hospital managed to improve efficiency, reduce delays, and boost patient satisfaction, laying a strong foundation for the expanded programs introduced this year.
Khoula Hospital’s renewed commitment reflects the broader vision of Oman’s healthcare sector to keep pace with global medical standards and provide cutting-edge care to its citizens. By focusing on advanced surgical specialties and prioritizing performance quality, the hospital ensures that patients benefit from modern, efficient, and reliable healthcare services. These initiatives not only strengthen national healthcare infrastructure but also highlight Oman’s determination to continually improve its medical services and meet the needs of its population effectively.
