Description
"Health Vision 2050" is an attempt to visualize how we would like our health system to be infuture until the year 2050. Predicting the future of health care delivery can be fraught with
uncertainty and risk, especially with the number of determinants that affect health care:
demographic, political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal.
To visualize the health system development in the future, it is necessary to project population
growth as well as the expected age structure. Population projections show that Oman is
expected to have a total population of slightly more than 7 million in 2050. The elderly (60
years and above) are expected to represent 13.1% of the Omani population in 2050 compared
with 6.1% in 2012. Details of the projected population growth are shown in Chapter 1. It is
also necessary to extensively analyze different determinants of health and a political,
economic, social, technological and legal (PESTEL) analysis is performed in Chapter 2.
Chapter 3 defines what a health system is and briefly describes the health system in Oman.
The current status of the Omani people in terms of morbidity and mortality as well as the
expected challenges facing the health system, are presented in Chapter 4.
Chapters 5-10 present a background analysis of the health system blocks, together with the
visions and proposed strategic actions. Chapter 11 discusses intersectoral partnership and
collaborations, and related visions and actions. A total of 28 visions are presented and
discussed with justifications and related strategic actions.
