2026-10-19
The Sultan Qaboos Comprehensive Cancer Care and Research Centre is Oman's dedicated cancer hospital. Since 2024 it has been part of the University Medical City, together with Sultan Qaboos University Hospital and the national haematology and marrow transplant centre.
What it offers
- Diagnosis and staging of cancer
- Chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery
- Palliative and supportive care
- Research and specialist training
Referral
Patients are referred by other hospitals and specialists. Expatriates should check with their insurer, as cancer treatment is often limited in local policies.
Location
The centre is in west Muscat, near Al Khoudh and Sultan Qaboos University.
Good to know
Departments, opening hours and referral rules change. Call the hospital or check the Ministry of Health before you go. In an emergency in Oman, call 9999.
