Muscat: The Ministry of Health has issued a clarification regarding their decision to hire Indian nurses for government hospitals after a person questioned officials regarding this.
In a Tweet online, one person asked the Ministry why “400 Indian nurses were required to work in Oman”, also implying that Omanis were not being hired for the posts.
The Ministry explained that this was being done because nursing specialists with the required experience for these posts weren’t available in Oman.
In a statement online, the ministry clarified, “We would like to clarify about inaccurate information in the tweet. The announcement recently put forward by the Ministry is to address the critical need for experienced nursing specialists, who are not available in the Sultanate.”
The ministry added that it had recruited 185 Omani nurses since June 30, 2018.
