These collaborations could lead to attracting more tourists from other countries and also help create job opportunities in the health and medical sector in Oman.
Ultimately, this meeting reflects the strong will of both countries to strengthen bilateral cooperation in health and medical fields. Given the existing capacities and mutual experiences, the development of medical tourism can become a key factor in improving relations between Oman and Indonesia.
