Details

This service enables you to submit a complaint if a patient or a relative suffers harm due to a medical error while receiving healthcare services in healthcare institutions in the Sultanate of Oman. Before submitting a complaint, it is strongly recommended to first communicate with the treating physician or medical team. Many cases may be the result of the natural progression of a disease or known treatment complications rather than an actual medical error. This communication can help clarify and better understand the situation and may lead to a quicker resolution without the need for a formal complaint. The complaint should be clear and detailed. Parents submitting a complaint on behalf of their children under the age of 18 are exempted from this requirement.
