“We have seen many Omanis heading to Iran in recent years for various purposes, including medical treatment, trade and pilgrimages,” reads an article published by Oman Observer.
“Today, this country [Iran] has become a pioneer among Islamic countries in the field of medical tourism as a result of the rapid growth of its healthcare system, along with developments in the field of medical research and technology. The depreciation of its national currency has also made healthcare cheaper for foreign patients.”
