Read MoreHistory
Prior to the 1970s, Dhofar Governorate had limited access to healthcare services. Traditional medicine, including cupping, cauterization, and fracture setting, were the primary forms of treatment. Modern medical facilities were extremely scarce, with only one palace-affiliated clinic staffed by one doctor and one health worker. With the dawn of the blessed renaissance, the establishment of healthcare institutions in Salalah began gradually and expanded to other wilayats, providing services based on the available resources at the time. Ten wilayats administratively divide the Dhofar Governorate, Despite the governorate's vast area and the diverse geographical nature of its wilayats, each wilayat hosts a number of healthcare institutions, reflecting the government's commitment to expanding healthcare services across the Sultanate. By mid-2024, the total number of healthcare institutions in the governorate had reached 45, categorized as follows: • Sultan Qaboos Hospital in Salalah, Governorate Hospital • 1 Wilayat Hospital • 7 Local Hospitals • 36 Health Centers"
