Health is established as a top national priority under the “People and Society” pillar of Oman Vision 2040. The strategy identifies modern healthcare as a foundational element of national development, targeting significant advancements in care quality, technology integration, workforce localisation and the expansion of medical tourism.

Aligned directly with these strategic objectives, Oman Health Conference 2026 served as a catalyst for the Sultanate’s healthcare transformation. The programme was designed to support Vision 2040’s goals through several key areas of focus:

Establishing a Regional Medical Tourism Hub: Addressing outbound healthcare spending by exploring the development of world-class specialty care and services capable of serving both domestic and international patients.

Fostering Sustainable Care and Investment: Exploring the role of NGOs and endowments, strengthening links between hospitality and clinical excellence, and supporting the development of robust public-private partnership frameworks.

Driving Clinical Innovation and Localisation: Examining opportunities for the localisation of MedTech and Pharma, accelerating the journey from R&D to the patient beds
