Abstract

Education and health are a fundamental human rights and not a privilege. They are the nation's instruments in generating a society that is knowledgeable, healthy, and innovative. Historical development of education and healthcare sectors in the Sultanate of Oman has experienced numerous reforms over the past 40 years. A main area targeted was embedding a culture of quality in higher education through assessments, quality audits, and by introducing a system of accreditation across the country. Specific to the Ministry of Health Education Institutes, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has taken active steps in fulfilling the requirements of meeting institutional audit, and thereafter prepare for health professions' education programme accreditation. This paper outlines the concept of quality in both the health and education sectors, with a focus on how the MOH in the Sultanate of Oman helped build a culture of quality across its health education sector and the steps taken by members of the health education institutes in embedding a culture of quality across all levels of health professions' education.
