The Maldivian Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation has announced new procedures to improve emergency healthcare services. The streamlined process will allow for quicker approval of travel to Sri Lanka during medical crises, reducing the wait time to only two hours. This is a significant improvement from the previous wait time which could take up to 24 hours.
This expedited process comes as part of a broader initiative championed by President Dr. Muizzu to ensure swift and efficient access to quality healthcare for Maldivian citizens, both domestically and abroad. The announcement underscores the government's commitment to prioritizing the well-being of its people, particularly in critical situations requiring urgent medical attention.
It has been confirmed that the Sri Lankan government has taken proactive steps to facilitate the smooth processing of medical travel permissions at Colombo's Bandaranaike International Airport. This collaboration between the two nations demonstrates their shared commitment to prioritizing the health and safety of individuals in need.
Furthermore, as part of President Dr. Muizzu's presidential promise, the government is poised to launch an air ambulance service on the 1st of the upcoming month. This initiative will not only provide essential medical transportation services but also serve as a tangible manifestation of the government's commitment to fulfilling its electoral pledges.
Beyond neighboring countries, the Maldivian government is also exploring avenues to expand healthcare access to countries such as Dubai and Thailand. By fostering strategic partnerships and facilitating medical treatment arrangements in these regions, the government aims to ensure comprehensive healthcare coverage for Maldivian citizens, regardless of geographical constraints.
