Oman is fast becoming one of the Middle East’s leading adopters of digital health technologies. From AI-powered diagnostics to telemedicine platforms, the Sultanate is reshaping its healthcare system for greater efficiency, transparency, and accessibility. At the core of this transformation lies a strong government vision backed by robust investments in digital infrastructure and smart technologies.
AI and Automation at the Heart of Oman’s Health Reform
The launch of Oman’s national healthcare transaction and claims management platform, Dhamani, in October 2024 marks a major milestone in the nation’s healthcare digital transformation. By 2025, the platform has automated pre-approvals for almost all medical services—reducing administrative delays and improving service delivery across hospitals and clinics.
This achievement puts Oman ahead of many developed countries, where similar automation is still in pilot stages. By using AI-driven automation, Dhamani ensures faster claim approvals, enhanced transparency, and better coordination between patients, insurers, and healthcare providers.
Oman’s digital health market reflects the country’s growing appetite for innovation. Revenue from the sector is expected to reach nearly $98 million in 2025, driven by rapid adoption of telemedicine, wearables, and AI-powered diagnostic solutions. These technologies are transforming patient care—especially in rural areas—by making healthcare more accessible and personalized.
Beyond healthcare, Oman’s digital transformation market overall is projected to hit $2.44 billion in 2025, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.36% from 2025 to 2033. The healthcare segment represents a critical part of this growth, fueled by government incentives, smart policy frameworks, and investments in cloud computing and IoT infrastructure.
Telemedicine and remote patient monitoring are also taking root across the country. These tools have proven vital in improving patient outcomes, especially for chronic disease management and follow-up care. With digital health platforms connecting patients and providers in real time, Oman’s healthcare ecosystem is moving toward predictive, data-driven medicine rather than reactive care.
The Sultanate’s Vision 2040 emphasizes building a digitally skilled workforce, and healthcare is no exception. Training programs and national initiatives are strengthening the capabilities of medical professionals to work with new digital tools, ensuring sustainable growth and long-term efficiency.
In summary, Oman’s healthcare digital transformation represents more than just technology adoption—it signifies a shift toward smarter, more inclusive patient care. The country’s integration of AI, automation, and connected health systems positions it as a regional leader in the next phase of Middle Eastern healthcare evolution.
