MUSCAT: Occidental Oman has signed a sponsorship agreement with the Ministry of Health to fund the purchase of Covid-19 vaccine doses worth $2.5 million. The sponsorship aims to enhance vaccination levels in the country against the coronavirus, particularly for high-risk individuals and the Ministry’s targeted groups.

This vaccine programme continues Occidental Oman’s support for Covid-19-related initiatives in the previous year and in 2021.

The company has sponsored an E-Platform for teachers in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, provided support to Dar Al Atta’as Covid-19 donation campaign, supported Ibri Hospital with medical equipment, and sponsored the purchase of temperature measuring devices for all schools in Al Wusta governorate.
