In November 2013, The College of Medicine and Health Sciences (COMHS) at Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) was “fully accredited” for a ten-year period (on its first attempt) by the Association for Medical Education in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (AMEEMR) in association with and in accordance with the standards of the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME).The accreditation decision was made on the basis that the MD Programme complies with the WFME’s “Basic and Quality Development Standards”.1 It is notable that COMHS’ “Quality Development Standards” are considered by the WFME as “Best Practice” thus conferring distinguished status on the COMHS’ MD Programme. This article describes the actions taken by the COMHS which led to this success. The achievement of accreditation was neither a sudden nor an unsystematic accomplishment. It was the result of a lengthy and extensive process of continuous improvement of the COMHS’ abilities and capacities that started long before the accreditation endeavour per se began in 2008. The process began by the construction of the “new” curriculum—an exercise that was accompanied and followed by other complementary measures. Only after that was the accreditation process initiated. Before explaining the process in more detail, a description of SQU and the COMHS might be helpful.

Dyslexia : Its impact on the Individual, Parents and Society

Lamk Al-Lamki

In this issue of SQUMJ, there is a very good review article on dyslexia by Drs. Shidhani and Arora.1 They describe the different types of dyslexia, the various aetiological causes and also its management. Perhaps the next major question to be discussed is its social impact. How does dyslexia impact the child, the parents and society in general?

Deaths from Sickle Cell Disease in Intensive Care Units: Can we do better?

Lamk Al-Lamki

In this issue of the journal, Dr. Qutaiba Tawfic and his colleagues report their experience with sickle cell disease patients (SCD) who were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Oman, with various complications of sickle cell disease. They studied 49 patients who were admitted 56 times in the ICU between the years 2005 and 2009.1 This is an important study which has several points worthy of reflection. There is very little literature specifically discussing the subject of SCD patients who are admitted to an ICU for any SCD related complication. The literature typically deals with specific complications of SCD, like the acute chest syndrome (ACS), vaso-occlusive disorder and stroke in these patients, as well as their precipitating factors and their management.2–5

Child Rights: What can we do in Oman?

Lamk Al-Lamki

Dr. Al Saadoon and her colleagues describe clearly the disgraceful way that some children in Oman are treated. There are no statistics to indicate the frequency of such treatment, but clearly it does exist, as evidenced by the six reported cases. Unfortunately, this is, most likely, just the tip of the iceberg and the scope of the problem is likely to be much greater. In most countries, the rate of child abuse cases that are reported to the authorities is much smaller than the real incidence. It is possible that in Oman, because of culture and religion, the magnitude of child maltreatment is lower, but, such a conclusion would require substantiation by research employing rigorous methodology. There is an indication that what is deemed child abuse in one culture may be perceived as ‘parenting style’ in other cultures. However, this is no reason for tolerating any form of child maltreatment in any country in the world. Unfortunately, children are deprived of their rights in many ways, and it is a universal problem.Child abuse, or taking away the child’s rights, has a very long history. Confucius, the Chinese philosopher (551 to 479 BC), stressed children’s obedience to their parents, and parents used various measures to ensure such forms of socialisation.
