Seenu Hithadhoo regional hospital is missing its gynaecologist, physician and x-ray machine, leading to many complaints from patients.
The hospital’s head, Ahmed Mohamed, said the hospital’s only gynaecologist had not shown up for work for a week, while the X-ray machine was damaged and the only physician had departed after completing his contract.
”We have informed the health ministry and they said they will fix all the problems as soon as possible.”
He said there were a lot of patients waiting for the gynaecologist and a lot of complaints from patients due to the broken X-ray machine and missing physician.
He said the nurses and senior medical officers at the hospital were taking care of the women waiting for gynecologist.
”There is a private hospital in this island where they can take X-rays,” he said, ”and people who need to X-ray have to use the machine in that hospital.”
He said that more than 15,000 people lived on the island and more than 150 patients came to Hithadhoo Regional Hospital every day.
Deputy director general of ministry of health Abdul Samad Abdul Rahman said the ministry had received information about all the issues.
”The gynaecologist has told us that she will come out for work tomorrow,” Rahman said, ”and we have been trying with the ADK hospital to fix the X-ray machine.”
He said the ministry was trying to hire a physician and a doctor from abroad, both of whom have been scheduled to arrive next month.

missing? disappeared? where are the good fandithamen when we need em!?
i was waiting to see what mr. salim waheed has to say about this but seems like this isnt important enough for him.
but it is for me. this little news worth nothing is changing my entire life for good. im dumping all my plans for the future of my family. because my wife is pregnant and she is in hithadhoo and the pregnancy is expected to be complicated. so im moving my family to male'. my wife will resign from her job. my 7 yrs old son will leave his addu school and move to male'. i will spend all the money i have saved so far to build our dream house, to rent a cage in male. on the other hand talk of the town is, if a house isnt built on any land by june this year the government will take that land away from you. so basically we're gonna be homeless forever. its all because our country cant afford a gynecologist for its second most populated town.
you guys are pathetic. former or present its the same shit just different smell. i had faith in the present one until i came to know,
