===What to Get & Where to Get It===


While we don't yet have a list of recommended gynecologists, we have provided a list of the public and private hospitals available in Oman (see below). Generally speaking, the quality of health care and hospitals in Oman is high. While Omani nationals often choose to go to public hospitals for a small fee, it's very common for foreigners (as well as some Omani people) to choose private hospitals. It should be noted that, at public hospitals, you may receive smaller charges for services, regardless of your citizenship, but you can expect longer wait times and greater bureaucracy related to services overall.
