According to Dr MI Sahadullah, Chairman, KIMS, “KIMS Oman Hospital aims
at improvising the existing healthcare delivery systems by ensuring provisioning
of state-of-the-art diagnostic, operative and critical care facilities."
He added that the hospital would provide healthcare delivery with care and compassion
at an affordable cost, subsidised care for the non-affording and offer exchange
training programmes between KIMS, Thiruvananthapuram and KIMS Oman Hospital,
Muscat for Omani nationals. He further added that sub-specialty clinics would
be chaired by eminent visiting consultants and accreditation of the hospital
would be initiated at the earliest to set healthcare delivery benchmarks in
the country. VMA Hakkim, Executive Director, KIMS Oman, highlighted the hospital's
intention to train Omani nationals for the various hospital functions and minimise
overseas travel of Omanis for their medical needs.
KIMS has a 450-bed hospital in Thirivananthapuram and a 50-bed peripheral unit
in Balaramapuram, located at around 20 kilometers from Thirivananthapuram. Additionally,
it has polyclinics in Bahrain, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
