MUSCAT : Revealing that he learnt of his appointment just two hours before the official announcement, His Excellency told Majan TV channel: “Only before two hours, I received the news from officials that I had gained the Royal trust and a royal decree would be issued regarding my appointment as the Minister of Health.”
In June 2022, Dr. Al Sabti took over the role of the Minister from the former Health Minister H.E. Dr. Ahmed Al Saidi.
Dr. Al Sabti, a well-kniown Cardiothoracic Surgeon, was then the Executive President of Oman Medical Specialty Board. It may be recalled that in 2014, the first artificial heart transplantation procedure in the Sultanate was done by a cardiac surgery team led by Al Sabti, for a patient suffering from heart failure.
In November 2015, the late His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said honoured Al Sabti with the Oman Civil Order (3rdclass).
