Oman has made pre-marital medical testing mandatory for all couples. The Ministry of Health says this step will help couples make informed decisions and protect their health. To start, both partners must visit an approved healthcare center. Doctors check their medical history, including chronic and hereditary illnesses, and conduct general health checks like measuring blood pressure. Next, couples undergo blood tests, screenings for sexually transmitted infections, and other necessary exams. Doctors explain the test results and offer health counseling. They also provide genetic advice and psychological support if needed. If treatment is required, doctors provide care or refer the patient to a specialist. After completing exams and counseling, couples receive a pre-marital medical certificate. This digital certificate is sent to the notary office to allow marriage registration, with the certificate valid for three months. The Ministry of Health says this testing is not just a formality. It’s a preventive measure to raise health awareness and avoid problems in marriage. The move aims to promote stronger, healthier relationships for couples getting ready to marry in Oman.
