The medical team will be going to various islands in Thaa Atoll and consulting patients in regional health centres and, if required, will conduct minor operative procedures. This will greatly benefit the people of these islands and will assist in providing specialist medical assistance to the people of Maldives. This is a major initiative in Defence cooperation between the Government of Maldives and India to reach out to the people of Maldives with the assistance of the MNDF, and will further strengthen the bilateral relations between India and Maldives. Indian Government had provided major assistance for establishment of the military hospital SenaHiya, which was officially opened in September last year during the visit of Indian Defence Minister Mr. A. K. Antony. India has also sent 2 specialist doctors and 4 paramedics on long term deputation to MNDF, who are stationed in Male’ to man the SenaHiya hospital. |
