The Minister of Housing and Infrastructure Dr. Mohamed Muizzu released a statement confirming that the construction of Addu's new hospital comprising of 100 beds is fully complete, whilst noting that the establishment is still lacking in necessary medical equipment.
The hospital is located at the Equatorial Convention Centre (ECC) where the former President Mohamed Nasheed held the SAARC Summit during his presidency. President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom made the decision to convert the convention centre to a hospital on November 14, handing the project to Alia Investments (Pvt) Ltd.
