Multiple healthcare enhancement initiatives are being rolled out as part of this agenda, aiming to upgrade facilities, expand capacity, and improve healthcare outcomes across both urban and island communities.

This newly completed project stands as a testament to the administration’s resolve to ensure that the healthcare system is resilient, forward-looking, and capable of addressing the evolving needs of the Maldivian people.
