The Ministry of Health (MOH) inaugurated today (Monday) a dialysis unit in the Wilayat of Adam, Al Dakhiliyah Governorate, built over an area of 505 square metres at a total cost of approximately OMR 325,000. The unit has a capacity of 10 beds, including beds for routine dialysis and isolation. 
The inauguration ceremony was held under the patronage of H.E. Sulaiman bin Nasser Al Haji, MOH Undersecretary for Administrative and Financial Affairs, and attended by a number of dignitaries, officials and members of the local community.
The project was implemented in partnership with Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) and CC Energy Development, with the aim of enhancing healthcare services for patients with kidney failure in Adam and neighbouring areas, while reducing the burden of travelling to other healthcare institutions to receive treatment.
Dr. Ali bin Abdullah Al Maqbali, Director General of Health Services in Al Dakhiliyah Governorate, said the opening of the dialysis unit in Adam responds to the growing number of patients requiring regular dialysis sessions and aims to ensure continuity of treatment in a safe, well-equipped medical environment.
He added that the unit would strengthen healthcare services across the governorate, particularly in Adam, while reinforcing primary healthcare and specialised services at Adam Hospital. This will help ensure the provision of comprehensive medical care closer to patients’ homes.
Al Maqbali stressed that the project represents a successful model of cooperation and integration between the government sector and socially responsible companies in financing and implementing development projects that serve the public interest.
The unit comprises a range of medical and service facilities, including dialysis halls equipped with beds and dialysis stations, a dedicated isolation room, rooms for patient assessment and medical procedures, peritoneal dialysis and health education, as well as a nursing office and a waiting area for patients. These facilities are designed to provide an integrated treatment environment that meets healthcare requirements and ensures patient safety.
The unit has been designed with adequate space and corridors to facilitate the movement of patients and medical staff. Provision has also been made for future expansion, including additional dialysis facilities and a dedicated service corridor to support future extensions.
The unit is a valuable addition to the healthcare services in Al Dakhiliyah Governorate, contributing to greater efficiency in specialised treatment services, meeting patients’ needs, and improving the quality of healthcare provided to them.
