Abstract
Oman is a high-income Middle Eastern country. Over the past 50 years, the country's health care system has undergone revolutionary changes to meet the health care needs of its population, driven by high oil and gas revenues. It currently has a very efficient universal health care system. There are 2 linear accelerators in the country and 6 radiation oncologists. A new cancer research center is currently under construction. The major challenge that could affect the delivery of radiation therapy in the future is sustenance of the health care achievements in view of a growing population and the reliance on public funding for health care delivery.
