Medical Device Companies in Oman
Oman’s medical technology market is shaped by geography as much as by budget: a Ministry of Health network of more than 50 hospitals stretched from Musandam to Dhofar, a flagship Royal Hospital and Sultan Qaboos University Hospital in Muscat, and a private sector concentrated in the capital, all supplied through a small group of Omani agencies that import, install and service equipment across very long distances.
Devices are registered with the Ministry of Health’s Directorate General of Pharmaceutical Affairs and Drug Control through a locally licensed agent, and the Directorate General of Medical Supplies tenders for MOH facilities while SQUH, the Royal Oman Police and Petroleum Development Oman hospitals procure separately. Multinationals including GE HealthCare, Siemens Healthineers, Philips and Medtronic support the market from Muscat or regional Gulf offices, and agencies such as Mustafa Sultan Science & Industry, Khimji Ramdas Healthcare and Muscat Pharmacy carry their portfolios. Private hospitals led by Badr Al Samaa, Aster Al Raffah and KIMS form a growing direct-purchase channel as Dhamani insurance rolls out. The directory below lists these participants by role.

How medical devices reach hospitals in Oman
The public system buys most equipment. The Directorate General of Medical Supplies issues tenders for consumables, implants and replacement equipment across MOH hospitals and health centres, and large capital projects such as new regional hospitals and the planned Sultan Qaboos Medical City are tendered through the Tender Board, often as turnkey packages. Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, the Royal Oman Police Hospital, the Armed Forces Hospital and PDO’s medical services run their own procurement and are distinct accounts. A foreign manufacturer appoints an Omani agent registered with the MOH, and that agent bids, imports through Sohar or Muscat, installs, trains and holds the maintenance contract, which matters greatly when a CT scanner in Salalah or Sur is a day’s drive from Muscat. Mustafa Sultan Science & Industry, Khimji Ramdas Healthcare, Muscat Pharmacy and Al Hashar are among the agencies encountered most frequently, each representing a mix of imaging, laboratory, surgical and consumable brands. Manufacturers such as GE HealthCare, Siemens Healthineers and Philips maintain Oman-focused teams for clinical and service escalation. The private channel, anchored by Badr Al Samaa, Aster Al Raffah, KIMS Oman, Starcare and Burjeel Muscat, buys directly from agents and is expanding as Dhamani mandatory insurance brings expatriate workers into private care.
Local
Oman has limited domestic device manufacturing; the local layer consists of biomedical maintenance firms and agencies’ service teams that keep equipment running across distant governorates.
Multinational

What is moving the medical device market in Oman
Dhamani insurance and private capacity
Mandatory health insurance for private-sector workers is shifting procedures into Badr Al Samaa, Aster Al Raffah, KIMS and new private hospitals, expanding demand for imaging, surgical and laboratory technology bought directly from agents.
Regional hospital and Medical City projects
New regional hospitals, the planned Sultan Qaboos Medical City and upgrades in Dhofar and Batinah create turnkey equipment tenders that favour agencies with project-management and installation capacity.
Service reach across governorates
Distances between Muscat and regional hospitals make uptime and local biomedical engineering decisive in tenders, pushing agencies to station technicians in Salalah, Sohar and Nizwa.
Laboratory consolidation and digital health
MOH investment in central laboratory automation, PACS and the Al Shifa health information system rewards vendors able to integrate devices with national platforms.
