The Godrej group is going to make substantial investments in Oman’s thriving healthcare facilities and allied services industry, according to senior company officials in the MENA region.

They emphasised that the investments will be purely in healthcare and not ‘medical care’

The regional heads of the $3.6 billion group with interests in businesses such as real estate, FMCG and appliances, said the investments will be made in partnership with Mohsin Haider Darwish (MHD), one of Oman’s leading family business empires.

“We are in the final phase of discussions of investing hugely in the flourishing healthcare segment of global standard and the first entity in this segment will come up by June this year,” said Mr Bomi S Gandhi, General Manager, Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and Mr G Srinivas, Deputy General Manager, International Business, told the Oman Daily Observer.

The investments will focus mainly on providing the best accessories offering complete healthcare solutions to both government and private names.

“Starting with the public and private names in the healthcare sectors in the Sultanate of Oman, our attention will also be given to various universities, colleges and schools operating in the country,” they were quoted as saying.

Mr Manmohan Singh Rehsi, Director of MHD Office Furniture and Interior Solutions said they are indeed privileged to such an alliance.
