Ibra: The Ministry of Health celebrated on Sunday the launch of the activities of the second edition of the first national training programme, “Training of Trainers” (TOT), for homecare services.
The programme, which is implemented by the Ministry of Health for the governorates of Muscat and North Al Sharqiyah with the support of Shell Oman, aims to build qualified national cadres in the field of homecare, and upgrade the quality of health services provided to beneficiaries in their home environments, thereby contributing to achieving sustainability and easing pressure on health facilities.
Dr. Ahmed Said Al Saidi, Director General of Health Services in North Al Sharqiyah Governorate, said: “This programme stems from the Ministry of Health’s keenness to invest in human capital and build qualified national cadres who possess the necessary knowledge and skills to lead training programs and transfer expertise.
This supports the expansion of the implementation of home healthcare services and enhances the quality of healthcare provided to beneficiaries in their homes, in accordance with the best professional practices.”
He added that the selection of the training-of-trainers methodology reflects a strategic vision aimed at preparing an elite group of national competencies capable of transferring knowledge and unifying practices.
This contributes to the sustainability of the programme and expands its impact to include various health institutions in the Sultanate of Oman, while enhancing the readiness of health teams to provide integrated and safe home health services centered around the needs of the patient and their family.
