The Ministry of Health today announced the results of the 2025 National Survey on Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) and their associated risk factors.

The event was held under the auspices of Sayyid Dr. Sultan Yaarub Al Busaidi, Advisor at the Private Office.

The ceremony’s program included a welcoming speech by Dr. Ahmed Salim Al Mandhari, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health for Health Planning and Regulation, in which he emphasized that the survey was conducted in response to a pressing national need. It aims to provide up-to-date and accurate data reflecting the health status of the country’s population, thereby supporting evidence-based planning and guiding policies and programs in alignment with the objectives of Oman Vision 2040. This, he added, meets regional and international targets, most notably the targets of the third goal of the Sustainable Development Goals, which seeks to reduce premature mortality from noncommunicable diseases.
