Residents of B. Dhonfanu have expressed concern over the stalled construction of the extension building at the island's health center.
Expressing her concern in an interview with RaajjeTV, Donfanu Council Member Aminath Rafa stated that the project had already been signed prior to President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu's visit to the island.
Rafa noted that the project had been awarded to Fenaka Corporation Limited. She pointed out that although a year had passed since the agreement was signed, no work had commenced until the authorities learned of the RaajjeTV team's visit to Dhonfanu.
Furthermore, residents of Dhonfanu have clarified that the ongoing construction is not for the health center extension. Instead, reports indicate that the current work is focused on the development of an accommodation apartment.
The government has contracted Fenaka Corporation Limited to develop and upgrade the health centers of three islands in Baa Atoll.
Under these agreements, Fenaka Corporation will undertake the construction of a new health center in B. Hithaadhoo, alongside the renovation and upgrading of existing health centers in B. Maalhos and B. Dhonfanu.
The project to construct a new health center in B. Hithaadhoo has been awarded to Fenaka Corporation for USD 2.19 million. The project is expected to be completed within a timeframe of 730 days. Additionally, the upgrading of health centers in Dhonfanu and Maalhos has been contracted for USD 785,000. These renovation works are scheduled to be finished within 545 days.
Under these health center development projects, the facilities will be equipped with new wards, private rooms, laboratories, and nursing stations. The scope of work also includes the construction of procedure rooms, garages, and storage facilities, as well as the installation of porticos and boundary walls.
State Minister Ismail Abdulla signed the agreements on behalf of the Ministry of Health, while Deputy Managing Director Mohamed Arif signed on behalf of Fenaka Corporation Limited.
