Developments in health sector are far-sighted: Health Minister

Minister of Health Abdulla Ameen has revealed the changes brought to the health sector are far sighted and will benefit the future.

Answering questioned posed by parliamentarians when he was summoned to parliament, Health Minister Ameen said the system needs to be changed to benefit the future, rather than seeking short term benefits.

Noting President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih envisions a health sector beneficial for years to come, the health minister said importance is given to shape the health sector as such. He said the government has begun works to provide doctors, nurses and equipment required for all islands to provide efficient and acceptable health services.

Furthermore, shedding light on the administration's pledges for the health sector, the health minister assured the development brought in this term will benefit the future. He widely criticised the developments brought to the sector to health sector during the past presidencies saying no future plans were made before adapting to changes.
