300 Grafts, Wider Access
More than 300 corneal transplant procedures had been performed in the Sultanate of Oman by the end of October 2026 since the program resumed. The program brought the service in-country and introduced advanced partial corneal transplant techniques, making treatment more accessible to patients. Since the service was brought in-country in 2023, no patients have been referred abroad for corneal transplants; previously, around 80 patients a year received treatment outside the Sultanate. The Ministry of Health is working to establish a national corneal bank to ensure the service’s sustainability and provide patients with donated corneas.
