MUSCAT :Dhamani, health insurance platform that will link the database of more than 2.5 million workers with different health institutions will be launched in the country soon.

An agreement will be signed by the officials on Wednesday.

The rollout of Oman’s mandatory universal health insurance for private sector employees, domestic workers, and visitors to the Sultanate, aims to provide affordable health insurance to private sector employees and domestic workers, as well as visitors to Oman.

Dhamani mandatory health insurance will have an electronic platform that links the providers of health insurance, the health services, and customers as well as the government. Under the compulsory health insurance scheme, insurance companies are mandated to provide specific minimum health insurance cover.

“The platform aims to connect all relevant parties, facilitate the exchange of information, raise the level of transparency and trust, settle claims and transfer funds, provide indicators about the health insurance status and use an unified coding system,” the statement said.
