What is the jobbing condition for healthcare professionals in Oman?

Like other Arab nations in the Gulf, who mostly relied over expats to provide manpower in different sectors, including healthcare, seeing increasing drive to facilitate, and replace locals in different sectors.

Omanisation, in public and private healthcare sector, is leading to a lack of job security for overseas healthcare professionals. Ultimately, this has caused salary packages decline. Overseas General Practitioners, who used to have good starting offer from 900 to 1500 Omani reyals, now usually end up with 600 to 1000 Omani reyals, plus, often with a condition to work in remote areas, having typical desert climate.

Despite Omnisation drive, there are still plenty of opportunities still available for overseas healthcare professionals, as Oman will require 13,000 additional doctors by 2040. Similarly, other healthcare professionals will also be needed to overcome this demand.
