This case study focuses primarily on how Oman used various strategies for improving access to and quality of their primary health care system thus contributing to universal health care. The focus on primary health care as the fundamental tool to advance the health of the Omani population has been credited with the considerable advances in health outcomes since 1970.
The Omani Ministry of Health has operationalized the idea of universal health care as a fundamental right by placing significant emphasis on ensuring population access to primary health care services and on financing such efforts through natural resources (among others, oil and gas revenue).
