Mahout: Mahout Hospital in Al Wusta Governorate will be inaugurated on Wednesday, marking a significant step reflecting ongoing efforts to develop the healthcare sector in the Sultanate of Oman, achieve health security, support sustainable health development and alleviate the burden of travel and referral on citizens and patients.
