MUSCAT : This significant development aligns with the Ministry of Health’s efforts to decentralize healthcare services and enhance accessibility for citizens.

The surgeries utilised state-of-the-art technology, including a tiny camera that allows for precise location and treatment of fistulas from within the body, eliminating the need for large surgical incisions. This minimally invasive approach not only reduces recovery time but also improves patient outcomes.

The Ministry of Health’s Directorate General of Health at the Royal Hospital emphasized that these procedures reflect the ongoing evolution of health services in the Sultanate, ensuring that citizens can access high-quality medical care closer to home.
