to the health authorities

The Sultanate of Oman has the best health status in the Arabic world region and that is all because His Majesty's government takes health and education as a commitment to their nation.

What I have been wondering is that we have so many hospitals nationwide, and each one has a speciality of it's own in a certain field while providing 'surface' facilities to the other health department's sectors. Take for example, The Royal Hospital in the Al-Khuwair area; it specializes in Cardio activity within the human body but if there was something to do with, say, the bone structure of a patient, he/she is referred to Al-Khoula Hospital in the Al-Wattayah area.

My question is this: why create so many hospitals that each specializes in a different department of the human body when you can create one large compound that facilitates to all of these specialities?

I realize the cost would be extravagent. But look at it this way; you would save lives by delivering patients to other hospitals that are not categorized to take over the problem that the patients with-holds. Not to mention, you would save the amount of trips for someone with an appointment to attend, especially if they are from the rural areas.

I hope this post reaches the eyes of the authorities in command to better serve our nation whom we so pledge our hearts and souls to..
