President Dr Mohamed Muizzu dissolved the governing bodies of six public hospital administrations today to establish the Maldives Tertiary Hospitals Group, a unified administrative body to oversee state-run tertiary healthcare nationwide.
The move places all government-operated tertiary facilities and hospitals currently being upgraded to tertiary level under a hybrid centralised administrative framework. Operating directly under presidential directives and affiliated with the Ministry of Health, Family and Welfare, the Group will be coordinated by the Principal Secretary to the President for Tertiary Health Services.
