Muscat - The Ministry of Health today signed a funding agreement with Oman India Fertiliser Company (OMIFCO) to purchase ventilators for patients from low-income and social security segments.
The agreement was signed by Saud Amer Al Nudhairi, the Ministry’s Director General of Financial Affairs, and Khalid Mohammed Al Fannah Al Araimi, OMIFCO’s Director of Sustainability and Institutional Communication.
Al Nudhairi stressed the importance of partnerships between the government sector and other sectors in the Sultanate of Oman to serve members of the public.
He hailed the company's noble initiative which, he observed, has been undertaken for the sixth time in a row.
For his part, Al Araimi expressed his appreciation for the Health Ministry's ongoing partnership in supporting needy segments of society.
The devices minimise the need for hospitalisation, improve the quality of life for patients and provide better monitoring and control of health conditions. They are an essential part of some home care programmes as they provide a safe and sustainable option for some patients who require long-term mechanical ventilation outside the hospital.
