Former Deputy Minister of Education Mohamed Ihusan has stated that hospital construction projects initiated by the current administration have become breeding grounds for disease in various islands.
Speaking on RaajjeTV’s "Fala Surukhee" program, Ihusan stated that a pit excavated by the current government for a proposed hospital project in M. Muli has become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. He noted that the stagnant water collected in the pit has led to the spread of diseases such as dengue fever throughout the island.
Ihsan stated that a 17-year-old in Muli had also passed away due to dengue fever. He further noted that while many continue to suffer from the disease, the outbreak remains ongoing.
Projects initiated under the guise of building hospitals or providing public healthcare services have not only stalled but have now become a primary source of disease outbreaks within the community. Instead of improving health, these stagnant projects ensure that the threat of illness remains a constant presence in the island.Mohamed Ihusan
Ihusan stated that President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu’s administration is failing to implement any coherent or viable policies. He further noted that the government's actions, rather than benefiting the public, are instead proving to be detrimental.
Furthermore, Ihusan noted that although President Muizzu had previously accused the media of spreading falsehoods regarding the shortage of essential medicines—labeling importers as "mafias" and "traitors"—the President has now finally conceded that these supplies are indeed unavailable.
President Muizzu's administration continues to hold groundbreaking ceremonies and excavate sites across various islands under the guise of development projects. However, residents from every island are noting that these initiated projects have failed to show any actual progress. Furthermore, local councils are reporting that the stagnation of these projects is due to a lack of secured financing.
