The Ministry of Health (MoH) of Oman called on its citizens and residents to update their personal details and contact numbers when visiting health institutions across the country.
The directive comes as part of efforts to implement a series of development programmes and online projects aimed at enhancing integration and coordination among various government entities. These initiatives form a key pillar of Oman’s national e-government strategy.
The MoH said the move will enable smoother access to healthcare services, improve accuracy of medical records, and ensure effective communication with patients.
It added that updating personal information is vital for the successful roll-out of the new digital health services platform.
The Ministry stressed the importance of cooperation from all individuals in completing this process, noting that accurate information will support the provision of quality healthcare, streamline administrative procedures, and contribute to achieving the objectives of the national digital transformation strategy.
