Muscat: The Ministry of Health signed a funding agreement with Oman India Fertilizer Company (OMIFCO) on Thursday to acquire ventilators for patients from low-income and social security groups.
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 highlighted the necessity of collaboration between the government and other sectors in Oman in order to benefit citizens.
He lauded the company's good effort, noting that it was the sixth time in a row that it had done so.
Al Araimi thanked the Health Ministry for its continued collaboration in assisting underprivileged populations.
The gadget reduces the need for hospitalisation, enhances patients' quality of life, and allows for more effective monitoring and control of health issues. They are an important component of some home care programs since they give a safe and sustainable alternative for certain individuals who need long-term mechanical ventilation outside of the hospital.
