Highlights

Ranked amongst the most developed countries in the world, the Sultanate of Oman has undergone very rapid socio-eocnomic development in the past four decades of 1970 to 2010. As a result, the prevalence of various forms of malnutrition have rapidly declined, and Oman has been able to reduce the child mortality rate by 70% since 1990. The health system in the Sultanate is based on effective programs and scientific studies, which included the first malnutrition survey in 1999, the second nutrition survey in 2009 and the national nutrition survey in 2017.
