The company plans to develop the first phase of this facility on a 10,000 square metre site with an initial investment of RO 15 million (USD39 million).

The laboratory serves as the country’s primary reference centre for sophisticated testing, disease investigation, genetic analysis, and quality control across all health facilities.

With a capacity exceeding 300 beds, the hospital will deliver both primary and secondary healthcare services to citizens and residents throughout the wilayat and surrounding areas.

The procedure demonstrates how deeply Omani and Kuwaiti medical expertise can integrate when supported by cutting-edge technology.
