Abstract
Growth in the Number of Female Medical Doctors in Oman : What are the Reasons ? = إزدياد عدد الأطباء الإناث في عمان : ماهي الأسباب ؟
Highlights
Sir, In the last four decades there has been tremendous growth in the number of hospitals and doctors in Oman.[1]
It is heartening to see the increasing number of female students in Omani medical colleges leading to a concomitant increase in women in the medical labour force.[2]
It would seem that Omani women think that the health sector is a suitable place for women to play an important role in society. This growth and feminisation of the medical profession has taken place since the accession in 1970 of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said. His vision and leadership have overseen major growth and transformation in Omani health care; he draws on Islamic teachings to underscore the expanded role that women should play in Omani society and to emphasise his support for women’s rights
