UK-based healthcare services company International Hospitals Group (IHG) has been selected for the construction of three hospitals in Oman.
The three hospitals – Salalah, Suwaiq and Khasab – will provide intensive care, emergency services and specialist baby care.
The project has secured £500m in financing from the UK government’s UK Export Finance (UKEF).

The UK government said that the financing helped IHG to win the contract and had also provided a loan and repayable on a commercial basis.
It added that the new projects are expected to support jobs in the UK during the construction phase, by drawing expertise of the UK supply chain along with the supply of specialist knowledge and medical equipment.
