Oman rolls out mandatory health insurance in private sector

Oman’s Capital Market Authority (CMA) is currently drafting plans to introduce mandatory health insurance for all residents in the country after the Council of Ministers made recommendations to do so.

“The decision aims at meeting the needs of the employees of the private sector relating to coverage of basic health, to limit the high-cost employers of private sector will incur in view of the current economic situation in addition to providing quality services provided by the insurance companies and health care unit to the insured.” 

The CMA described the decision as a milestone in achieving a unified health insurance policy for private-sector employees and their families.
