Muscat, 26 April 2011: Starcare hospital, managed by Starcare Health Systems, UK will be dedicated to the people of Oman on April 30th.  Starcare Hospital is a state-of-the-art facility built according to American Architectural standards designed by a Belgian architect, Hosmac Consultants and Starcare UK and equipped with some of the world’s best medical equipments.

Conveniently located on the main highway in Seeb, next to the Muscat City Center, Starcare is a new generation 50 bed multi-specialty hospital catering to the people of Seeb, wider Muscat and the entire Sultanate of Oman. It offers primary and secondary care in all specialties and tertiary care in selected specialties. Starcare is the first private hospital in Seeb, Muscat and boasts of a dedicated 24 hours Emergency Department, 35 medical specialties,  Three modern Operating Theatres, ICUs, Day care units, Maternity ward, 24 hour Pharmacy, and 24 hour Diagnostic services.

Proud of his team who completed the building and commissioning of the project in less than one year, Dr. Sadik Kodakat, Chairman of the Starcare Hospital commented “We look to set new bench marks in the private Healthcare sector combining legendary Omani hospitality with Western Quality systems, all at an affordable cost to the community. The hospital has embraced international accreditation standards from the design stage itself and in its operational plans. The aim is to reduce the dependence of Omanis and expats on hospitals abroad for high quality treatment.”


Commenting on the trend of Omanis going outside the country to seek specialised treatment, Dr Sadik said the most important thing is to create confidence among patients about the facilities in the country and to ensure access to treatment without delay. “Our plan is to build a chain of satellite centres to bring medical care close to one’s home.”

“The Hospital boasts of handpicked western or equivalent trained doctors with exceptional bedside manners and high level competence. We will also use the services of eminent local doctors as well as international visiting consultants”. said Jayan K, General Manager of Starcare Hospital.

“We will be committed to provide the best quality medical care and services to our patients through our focus on uncompromising patient safety culture and emphasis on human values” Melodye Kika, Chief Nursing Officer of Starcare Hospital added.

Future Plans:

Starcare plans to open another 150-bed hospital, 10 polyclinics and a chain of 15 pharmacies in different parts of the Sultanate in two-to-four years.  The company also plans to enter the healthcare sector in Saudi Arabia & UAE in the near future.

Investment Plan:

The Total investment in the Health care market in Oman is about RO 15 Million. The investment in the other GCC markets including Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar will be around 20 million.
