Medical care and hospitals for visitors*
In an emergency, always call 9999.
Private medical care and hospital treatment is chargeable in Oman, so check that your travel insurance covers this before you travel.
Ambulances are run by private hospitals and will take you to their closest facility. If you want to go to a specific hospital, make your own way there.
If you need non-emergency treatment, contact your insurer before you go to hospital, as many policies ask you to do this. Private hospitals may ask for proof of insurance, so keep your policy details with you.
