Current expat population: 45% of the total population of Oman
Majlis Al-Shura (مجلس الشورى) (The Consultative Assembly, Oman’s 86 seat lower house of council) has discussed a proposal for mandatory hiring of Omanis in technical positions in the private health sector institutions as part of the Omanisation plan.
The discussion was held today chaired by Speaker of Majlis Al-Shura; Khalid bin Hilal Al-Ma’awali and in the presence of Sheikh Ahmed bin Muhammad Al-Nadabi, Secretary-General of the Council and Shura members.
The 7th term of Shura Council’s first annual session (2019/2020) decided that: Omanis are to be hired for the following technical positions:
- Laboratory Technicians
- Medical Profession Auxiliaries
- Physiotherapist Technicians
- Nursing Professionals
- Pharmacy Professionals
- Pharmacist Assistants
- Pharmacists
- Radiographers (X-ray Technicians)

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Al-Sahawat Times than ever but advertising revenues across the global media industry are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a total paywall. We want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Al-Sahawat Times’ independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe truly ethical media and an unbias perspective really matters.
“I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information.”
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, the future of ethical media and the futures of our staff and their families would be much more secure. For as little as £1, you can support Al-Sahawat Times and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
