Oman LNG Development Foundation has signed an agreement with the Oman Medical Specialty Board (OMSB) aimed at supporting the hands-on training of Omani health professionals.
Under the agreement, Oman LNG Development Foundation will fund the provision of key equipment that helps enhance the training services offered by the Medical Simulation Centre.
Oman Medical Specialty Board is a postgraduate medical training body that drives excellence in medical education, research and patient care through the establishment of a Medical Simulation Centre (MSC). The centre combines training techniques from high-risk specialties in Emergency Medicine, Critical Care and Surgical Specialties with the latest medical simulation technologies. It is fully integrated into the residency training programmes offered by the Oman Medical Specialty Board to enhance the practical aspects of their training. It also provides the next generation doctors and other allied health professionals hands-on-training of procedures in difficult and potentially dangerous conditions without any risk to patients.
The centre aims to create an inter-professional training environment of excellence, that enables health professionals and trainees to engage in various technical and non-technical skills, research and innovation with the ultimate goal of decreasing medical errors and improving patient care.
Dr Hilal bin Ali al Sabti, Executive President of Oman Medical Specialty Board, and Shaikh Khalid bin Abdullah al Massan, CEO of Oman LNG Development Foundation signed the agreement.
“Today’s agreement ties in well with Oman LNG’s ultimate goal of contributing to the country’s development especially in the push to provide the medical sector with quality training through our partnership with Ministry of Health. Supporting the health sector has been always on our top priority, so that will eventually make the medical centres and hospitals ready to support the country’s growth and aspirations,” commented Al Massan.
