Medical Tourism in Maldives

by Kishore on April 12, 2008

Maldives is a tourist country and there are millions of tourists arriving in Maldives every year. There are about 90 high class resorts in Maldives but when we look into Medical Tourism, its equivalent to NO.

Reason for not promoting Medical Tourism in Maldives is the lack of Health facility and the cost of Health facility is very high. There are some Government Hospitals in different Atolls in Maldives. The biggest hospital is Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital or IGMH and the only private Hospital is ADK Hospital. Tourists use these facilities in case of emergencies and not as a Medical Tourism Concept. There are few private clinics like AMDC which provide service as a Day clinic.

Most of the locals go abroad for advanced medical treatment as the facilities are limited here.
