Although healthcare in Oman has tremendously improved recently, mental health care has continued to lack attention and proper resources (World Health Organization [WHO], 2008). In 2005, the mental health plan for the country was revisited to address increasing the availability of healthcare services, establishing a budget, creating goals, etc. (WHO, 2008). The WHO (2008) further explains that legislation has been created to help set standards for future mental health services, although the current services that are offered lack credibility. Primary care doctors have been advised to prescribe psychotherapeutic medicines in place of psychiatrists, for example (WHO, 2011). The WHO (2008) explains that there are only 26 outpatient facilities in Oman. Additionally, there are no day treatment facilities or residential facilities offered in Oman, these problems need to be addressed in the next revision to show that mental health is being taken seriously (WHO, 2008).
