The clinic’s offerings include primary and preventive healthcare, addiction care, obstetrics, gynaecology, tobacco cessation, and various other services.

Collaborating with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the Society for Health Education (SHE), the clinic will also extend family planning and reproductive health services. 

Patients who struggle with centralised treatment options will now have the opportunity to receive care that equips them with skills for societal reintegration and self-sufficiency. The clinic accommodates inpatient and outpatient services, ensuring flexibility and convenience for patients seeking assistance.

Furthermore, the clinic provides online services for individuals residing in areas beyond Hulhumalé. 

Following the inauguration, First Lady Fazna Ahmed conducted a tour of the facility, acquainting herself with the services offered and extended her gratitude to key stakeholders including UNFPA, SHE, Hulhumalé Hospital, the Ministry of Health and the National Drug Agency (NDA).

During her visit, she engaged with patients currently undergoing treatment at the Women’s Rehabilitation Centre.
