Tawoos Group, a prominent Omani business conglomerate, has officially launched Numa Health, a new healthcare brand unifying the former operations of NMC Oman. This strategic move follows Tawoos Group's acquisition and integration of NMC's healthcare facilities in the Sultanate, establishing a significant national healthcare platform under Omani ownership.
The rebranding initiative was celebrated at a reception in Muscat, graced by His Excellency Dr. Hilal bin Ali Al Sabti, Oman's Minister of Health. Also in attendance were Samir J Fancy, Chairman of Tawoos Group, and His Highness Sayyid Tarik bin Shabib Al Said, Vice Chairman, alongside other key public sector figures. Tawoos Group acquired NMC's Oman operations and the Elegant Medical Center (EMC) in May 2025, with the transaction finalized in September 2025. Since then, the network has expanded from 8 to 13 locations across Oman.
The Government of Oman and the Ministry of Health have built an extraordinary universal healthcare platform to meet the needs of a growing nation. Numa Health is being launched with the intent of creating a trusted Omani brand that complements that progress. Beyond providing affordable, yet best-in-class care, the intent is to rapidly expand the footprint of our healthcare platform across Oman and beyond, and to introduce tertiary care at the next level. Tawoosโ vision and financial strength support Numaโs aspirations to be the trusted private sector partner for Omanโs health services of tomorrow.
Numa Health will operate hospitals and clinics, while EMC will continue as a sub-brand specializing in dermatology and aesthetics. Together, they represent the largest private healthcare platform in Oman with local institutional backing. This consolidation aims to build on over two decades of healthcare provision, now enhanced by new governance, capital, and a long-term vision for expansion. The initiative aligns with Oman Vision 2040, which prioritizes healthcare development amidst a growing and aging population.
Samir J Fancy emphasized Numa Health's intent to be a trusted Omani brand that complements the government's universal healthcare efforts. He stated, โBeyond providing affordable, yet best-in-class care, the intent is to rapidly expand the footprint of our healthcare platform across Oman and beyond, and to introduce tertiary care at the next level.โ His Highness Sayyid Tarik bin Shabib Al Said added that Numa Health signifies a move towards a more patient-centered model, integrating medical excellence, technology, and a human approach. Tawoos Group, with its decades of experience across various sectors, aims to support Numa Health's ambition to become a leading private sector partner in Oman's healthcare future.
Numa Health is much more than a new name. It represents a shift beyond traditional service delivery towards a more connected, patient-centered model of care, built on medical excellence, technology, and a human approach. That is the standard we intend to set, and the foundation on which we will grow.
