The project resulted in the distribution of IT equipment to five regional hospitals, 15 atoll hospitals, and various healthcare centers. The equipment included 608 computer systems, 44 laptops, 500 tablets, 14 video conferencing systems, and 551 printers. This is one of the Maldives' most significant ICT hardware projects.
