Oman Unveils Ta'heel To Streamline Rehabilitation Services For Disabled
In a significant move to enhance the support system for persons with disabilities, the Ministry of Social Development (MoSD) unveiled the Ta'heel platform at the recently concluded COMEX Global Technology Show. Ta'heel, which translates to 'rehabilitation’ in Arabic, is designed to streamline the process of accessing rehabilitation services for persons with disabilities, their families, and the staff of various rehabilitation centers across government, private, and civil sectors.
An official from MoSD highlighted the primary objective of Ta'heel, stating, “The Ta'heel platform aims to facilitate the provision of services to persons with disabilities, their families, and workers of government, private, and civil rehabilitation centres.” This initiative represents a significant stride towards making essential rehabilitation services more accessible and efficient for those in need.
Ta'heel offers a comprehensive suite of features to streamline the rehabilitation process. It enables users to submit requests for rehabilitation services at different centres, schedule and reschedule evaluation dates, and monitor the status of their requests throughout the evaluation process. This level of accessibility is geared towards simplifying what has traditionally been a complex process for many families and individuals.
Moreover, Ta'heel extends its support to entities aiming to establish new rehabilitation centres for people with disabilities. Through the platform, these entities can apply for new centre licences, inaugurate new branches, renew existing licences, and introduce new activities. This functionality not only promotes the expansion of rehabilitation services but also ensures that these services adhere to the required standards and regulations.
Impact and Reach of Ta'heel
Since its launch, Ta'heel has had a notable impact on the rehabilitation sector in the country. According to MoSD, a total of 107 rehabilitation centres have already benefited from the platform. This includes a diverse mix of 40 government, 56 private, and 11 civil centres, demonstrating Ta'heel’s wide-reaching influence across different sectors.
The platform has also significantly benefited individuals with disabilities, with 7,790 beneficiaries already making use of the platform's services. The breakdown of these beneficiaries includes 3,774 receiving services in government centres, 3,467 in private centres, and 549 in civil centres. Additionally, Ta'heel supports a substantial number of specialised staff members, totaling 1,150, with 367 specialists working in government centres, 50 in private, and 733 in civil centres. This extensive support network ensures that persons with disabilities receive the highest standard of care and assistance.
The introduction of the Ta'heel platform by the Ministry of Social Development marks a pivotal advancement in the provision of rehabilitation services for persons with disabilities. Through its innovative features and extensive reach, Ta'heel is set to significantly enhance the accessibility and efficiency of rehabilitation services, ensuring that individuals with disabilities, their families, and rehabilitation centre workers have the support they need to navigate the rehabilitation process effectively.
