Securing Family Futures
The Sultanate of Oman began implementing premarital medical screening on January 1, 2026, as a legal and preventive measure aimed at protecting couples and their children and promoting health awareness. The screening helps detect genetic conditions, including sickle cell disease and thalassemia, and assess the likelihood of passing them on to children. It also helps identify certain infectious diseases and limit their transmission. In addition, it enables prospective couples to receive counseling, treatment, and appropriate medical care before starting a family.
