Oman International Hospital announces soft opening

On May 2, Oman International Hospital (OIH), the country’s largest multidisciplinary private hospital, announced the soft opening of its facilities in Al Ghubra next week. The hospital is the result of a partnership between Suhail Bahwan Group, Oman Brunei Investment Company, and Idealmed GHS which is part of the European health group IGHS.

Catering to the healthcare needs of the population, OIH will operate in accordance with international standards of quality and offer world-class medical services as well as the most advanced diagnostic and treatment solutions to its patients.

As a teaching hospital, OIH has partnered with recognized academic institutions such as the University of Coimbra, which is considered to be one of the oldest and most prestigious academic institutions in the world. Additionally, in collaboration with Siemens, OIH will host a “Med Academy” to ensure the continuous training of all its staff and promote the sharing of competencies and experiences.  
    
The hospital’s services will be operated in a phased manner initially, with only the emergency department, radiology, laboratory, and the outpatient clinic and related facilities welcoming patients in the beginning. Additional departments and services will then gradually be available over the next few months.

Commenting on the upcoming soft opening, Sheikha Amal Bint Suhail Bahwan, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors of OIH said, “This hospital is a dream come true. We are committed to extending world-class medical and health services to the people of Oman and setting ourselves apart in the sector. We believe that this new investment in the sector is a huge milestone for the country”.
