President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu reached the decision to establish rehabilitation centers in three more islands and to authorize community-based rehabilitation services following recommendation from his Cabinet of Ministers.
The decision was based upon a thorough review of a paper submitted by the Ministry of Health during a cabinet meeting held on Sunday.
Muizzu decided to authorize community-based rehabilitation services in accordance with the Drugs Act (17/2011).
Further, a community-based drug rehabilitation programme is also to be launched in accordance with laws of the Maldives as well as Islamic principles.
