As part of its ongoing efforts to enhance
health standards and develop the medical care system, the Sultanate of Oman has
obtained associate membership in the International Medical Device Regulators
Forum (IMDRF). This followed Oman’s participation in the Forum's recent
conference, held in Seattle, USA, where representatives from various countries,
medical device regulatory bodies, and experts in regulatory affairs gathered to
discuss the latest developments and challenges related to the regulation and
use of medical devices.
The Ministry of Health, represented by the Drug Safety Center, participated in
the IMDRF. The Center presented remarkable progress achieved in regulating and
approving medical devices, highlighted ongoing efforts to develop healthcare
infrastructure, and outlined Oman’s regulatory policies and procedures that
ensure the quality, safety, and proper circulation of medical devices.
