Oman’s Ministry of Health (MoH) has signed a cooperation agreement with Vale Oman to furnish the Drug Rehabilitation Center in Sohar for operation as a quarantine and isolation centre for COVID-19 patients.
In a statement issued online, the MoH has said that: “The centre will be equipped based on a thorough risk and capacity assessment, considering all medical equipment/facilities and basic amenities conducted with the MoH.”
The total cost of outfitting the centre to the necessary specifications for COVID-19 protocols will be around $400,000 USD, the statement confirmed.
Speaking on behalf of Vale Oman, CEO Adriano Mansk said that the cooperation aims to support Oman’s health sector during the pandemic: “Driven by our core value, ‘Life matters most’, we firmly believe in our commitment to meet the national call in defeating this global pandemic and joining efforts with other public and private entities.
We also commend the non-stop efforts of the front-lines in the public and private institutions under the guidance of the state Supreme Committee, and we re-affirm our commitment to contribute to the socio-economic development of the Sultanate of Oman.”
