“The government’s approach to generalise health insurance among private sector employees, residents and visitors to the Sultanate is an important step and a progressive move to regulate the labour market in the private sector. The next step should be ensuring the efficient implementation of this project,” Al Busaidi said. “The organisation of such awareness meetings that tour the Sultanate’s different governorates reflect the concept of partnership with the employers in the private sector and other stakeholders. It represents a real opportunity to understand the different aspects of the project and its suggested implementation phases as well as for exchanging views and addressing inquiries.”
Ahmed bin Ali al Mamari, Vice-President for Insurance Sector, Capital Market Authority (CMA), emphasised that Dhamani is focused on private sector employees and visitors to the Sultanate, and does not include other sectors. He added that there is a confusion between the concept of private health insurance and social health insurance.”
