MOH Educational
Programmes
Ministry of Health Purpose Statement
The general purpose of the
educational institutes operating under the auspices of the Ministry of
Health is to prepare professional practitioners in nursing and allied
health sciences disciplines in support of National Health Policy.
As the Sultanate is expanding
its comprehensive health care system, both quantitatively and
qualitatively, there is an increasing health care need that demands
well-trained health professionals. In order to respond to this need the
Ministry of Health's education programmes are designed to meet the health
care needs of the country at international standards. Nursing and all
allied health disciplines, in addition to their respective curricula
requirements, focus special attention on the forces of culture, family,
community and health care system which influence individuals and groups in
their attempts to maintain health.

The
Role of English
English is the language of all
instruction at the MOH institutes. Students receive support classes in
English-as-a-Foreign-Language, including an eighteen-hour-a-week intensive
course their first semester, with fewer hours being offered in following
semesters.
The English curriculum is a
blend of general language skills development and
English-for-Specific-Purposes (ESP).
