The Ministry of Social Development published in this week’s issue of the Official Gazette a new Governance Regulation for Elderly Day Care Centres which provides the legal framework for establishing and operating a day care centre for the elderly.
According to the new regulation, a person wishing to establish a day care centre for the elderly must obtain a licence from the MOSD. Applicants for this licence can be natural persons, companies, or civil associations. Applicants are required to provide a bank guarantee of 3,000 Rial Omani when submitting their applications except for civil associations.
The regulation sets the obligations of the licensee to include preparing internal regulations of the day care centre and appointing a Omani person as the manager of the centre.
