Officials cannot grasp citizens’ struggles at Hulhumalé Hospital: Ghalib

Ahmed Ghalib, Male' City Council member for South Hulhumale', stated that the Maldives' healthcare system has deteriorated to an unprecedented low since the current administration took office. Speaking on Raajje TV's 'Fala Surukhee' program, he criticized the government for neglecting the healthcare sector. He noted that while Hulhumalé's population is growing rapidly, the government has failed to expand hospital services. Senior officials are oblivious to citizens' hardships, likely due to their privileged access. Patients wait hours to see a doctor, and emergency care faces similar delays. MRI scans take months. Many citizens are forced to seek expensive private care, further impoverishing them. Ghalib said the healthcare system has failed to a degree unprecedented in the country's history.
