Hulhumalé: Hulhumalé Hospital has officially launched three new specialist services in gastroenterology, neurology and urology.
The services were inaugurated by Minister of Health and Social Family Development Dr. Geela Ali. The hospital has also opened a new Neuroscience Unit as part of the expansion.
The new services are aimed at reducing the patient waiting list at IGMH and decreasing the need for Maldivians to travel abroad for medical treatment.
According to CEO of Malé Group of Hospitals Ibrahim Abdul Razzaq Haleem, the neurology service will include consultations and EEG testing, while urology services will include consultations and uroflowmetry tests. Gastroenterology consultations have also begun, with plans to introduce endoscopy and colonoscopy services in the near future.
The hospital has also expanded its facilities over the past two and a half years, including a four-theatre operating complex, a 10-bed intensive care unit, an ICU room and a 14-bed neonatal intensive care unit.
