17 Mar 2025 – The Omani Ministry of Health on Monday launched a diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening project using SELENA+, the deep learning system developed by Singapore Eye Research Institute (SERI), notably becoming the third country in the world to run a national DR program using AI.
In his speech, Dr. Said Harib Al Lamki, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health for Health Affairs, emphasised that this national programme is committed to achieving a qualitative shift in the healthcare system by adopting the latest technologies and best international practices.
The project seeks to accommodate a larger number of patients for rapid examinations, reduce waiting times at eye clinics, and expand the scope of early detection services across various healthcare institutions, he said.
The adoption of AI reflects the Sultanate of Oman’s ambitious vision for healthcare to ensure a healthier life for citizens.
