Muscat: The Ministry of Health has affirmed that the Royal Decree issuing the Organ Transplant and Donation Regulation Law represents a fundamental step in strengthening the legislative framework of the Sultanate of Oman’s healthcare system. The law addresses the growing need for organ transplant procedures as a therapeutic solution for patients suffering from end-stage organ failure.
His Excellency Dr Hilal bin Ali Al Sabti, Minister of Health, stated to the Oman News Agency that the law supports the National Organ Transplant Programme, ensuring the rights and safety of both organ donors and recipients. It precisely regulates the conditions and procedures for organ donation, whether during life or after death, while defining legal responsibilities and the roles of medical institutions.
His Excellency also highlighted that the Public Health Law is a crucial necessity for organising all aspects related to public health, including widely recognised concepts in this field. It establishes a comprehensive system of scientific and practical regulations, serving as a reference for the healthcare system’s interactions with various sectors. The law aligns with Oman Vision 2040, reinforcing its objectives and supporting its goals to provide more inclusive healthcare services for all.
His Excellency expressed deep appreciation for the Royal attention and commitment of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik, may God protect him, in continuously advancing the healthcare sector in Oman. His Majesty’s dedication ensures the development of a comprehensive and integrated healthcare system that meets the needs of the population.
