MUSCAT : The establishment of this veterinary hospital comes as part of the ministry’s ongoing efforts to enhance the veterinary care system in the Sultanate of Oman and elevate animal health services, with an investment exceeding RO 1 million.

Al Bashayer Vet Hospital is the first specialised, integrated hospital in the livestock sector in Oman, providing advanced services in diagnosis, treatment, and surgery. It includes a range of specialized departments and facilities, such as outpatient and inpatient veterinary clinics, a fully equipped pharmacy, specialized laboratories, and operating rooms for both large and small animals, in addition to a dedicated department for camel medicine, pregnancy-related issues, infertility treatment, and artificial insemination.

Through this project, the ministry aims to develop the infrastructure for veterinary services and encourage private sector participation in providing specialized technical services. The contracted company is committed to supplying the necessary medical, technical, and administrative staff to operate the hospital in accordance with quality standards and Omanisation policies, while also covering all operational costs during the contract period.

The trial operation marks a significant step in supporting livestock breeders in Oman and improving the healthcare services provided to them. This initiative contributes to achieving biosecurity and strengthening sustainable livestock production systems, in line with the agreement signed between the ministry and Al Khayrat Agricultural Services and Development Company, which will manage and operate the hospital to ensure comprehensive veterinary medical services in accordance with the highest standards.
