Speaker of Parliament and former President Mohamed Nasheed has said today that the only reason he survived the bombing attack of May 6, 2021 is through Allah's providence which allowed for him to receive treatment at ADK Hospital.

Speaking at the 5th Brain and Spine Conference held by ADK today, Nasheed emphasized that the hospital's competent team led by neurosurgeon Dr Ali Niyaf had saved his life following the terror attack on him.

He said that he might be one of the people who is most closely connected to 'Brain and Spine' surgery, recalling how shrapnel was removed from his head and various areas of his body.

Thanking the hospital profusely for the work they continue to do, Nasheed said that the health sector had reached its current levels as a result of the investment ADK Chairman Ahmed Nashid had initially made in opening first a clinic, and then a smaller hospital in the old Central Hospital building.

ADK Hospital has today presented the hospital gown worn by Nasheed during his hospital stay in 2021 to him as a token of remembrance.
