Immigration investigates "faith healer" Mala's case

The Maldives Immigration said today that they are investigating the case of Dr Mala Ali Mahmood and taking legal actions against him.

The Iraqi-born physician who makes claims to be able to heal people with hearing and vision impairments, "treated" a number of patients in the Maldives. He arrived in Maldives late last month. The Ministry of Health had launched an investigation claiming that Mala treated patients without procuring necessary permissions; however, he had left the country by then.
