Hi sohailsaniya,

None of the forum members can decide for you. Because this is a decision which only you can take.

But what I do can tell you is that if you come here as a medical doctor you can very well kiss your career goodbye.

I am not going to elaborate any further as all details have already been shared in the forum. Locate them and read for all the information that you would ever need.

Good luck.

Go for it if this makes financial sense and it works for your family. Your children's education and good life depends on how much money you make in next 10 years. IF Oman helps expedite that....which looks to be the case then why think. The place otherwise is good and if u stay alone and family in India you will save at least 1500. But if you have never been away from family it can be difficult. However with savings u will make u will be able to go back every month. All the best...

Your understanding is absolutely correct, pertaining to what Mr. Sumitran has stated.

It's an undoubted truth that Oman (among all middle eastern countries) is considered to be a country where the medical is pathetic and people specially pray, in general not to get sick.
From the doctors to the pharmacy staff, around 90% personnel are incompetetive, non professionals and unaware of what they're diagnosing and what they're suggesting to a patient. The only thing which they keep in mind is how to earn more money by prescribing irrelevant tests and expensive medicines that help them earning more commissions and consultancy amounts.

I (and alot of people who don't want to comment here / or silent readers) ain't againt the doctors, but the system of their selection. People with 5 / 6 years experience are selected as specialist doctors (as the medical test and procedure is so easy that anyone can jump through) and then the population is left over onto those inexperienced doctors who are not competetive to cure the patients. 

There are approximately 2 (or 3) fairly better (yes, only better) private hospitals with few experienced surgeons, however they're so expensive that 80% of the population can't afford them.

I can't elaborate  "Kiss your career goodbye" further. Hence, decide yourself and proceed if you feel you can handle it.

Thanks shaz for u r valuable suggestion and making me understand the situation of medical feternity there in Oman.
Even here in India the situation is more worse.lots of competion and among the doctors only 10%are fortunate doctors and there r black sheeps in every profession but about medical feternity it is exaggerated by media and others.
as medicine is not a pure science and its failures are attributed to the doctors.                 
Here I fix a fracture by struggling 3hours    and healing dependsup on the patients  age,other diseases,fracture pattern and  for some patients fracture heals and for  some patients it may take long time and  some never.
here there is no system as medical insurance and most of the patients cant afford treatment and we neef treat big problems also with peanuts.i am not treating it my fellow doctor will do it.here in we can survive but cant flaroish majority of docs.

Hi
I have been here about a year now. With family. I don't know much about your profession and hence wouldn't advise. I am in the insurance sector. Happy to help any further if you need any more advice.

All the best
