Hulhumale residents protest against lack of doctors

Hulhumale residents have held a demonstration against a lack of specialist doctors at Hulhumale hospital, reports Miadhu.

MP for Hulhuhenveiru Moosa Maniku told TVM that the health ministry was struggling to attract doctors because of the change in salaries, but added that a volunteer doctor from Britain would arrive later in February.

Moosa also said the hospital was trying to reach a specialist-sharing arrangement with Indhira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH).
