Reaching 75,000 Disabled People
There were 75,432 Omanis with disabilities in 2025. The figures also recorded 139 rehabilitation centres, 9,933 people enrolled in rehabilitation, 51,252 beneficiaries of social protection benefits, and 18,437 people in employment. But services do not reach all governorates equally: Al Batinah North had the highest numbers, while some families had to move to Muscat to access rehabilitation. Available data do not fully show how centres and their specialities are distributed, or how long people must wait. In 2026, rehabilitation programmes and employment initiatives were launched. The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Law also established a 5% employment quota in specified government entities and establishments. However, it remains unclear whether services are sufficient and conveniently located for those who need them.
