Institutions administered under the Ministry of Gender, Family and Social Services must ensure required help and assistance is being provided to relevant institutes based in outlying atolls, says Vice President Faisal Naseem.

The vice president held discussions with senior official and representatives of said institutes via video conferencing on Monday, where discussions were based around the quality of services being provided to the residents under the government’s responsibility.

As such, VP Naseem clarified the quality of services being extended to those without access to primary care during the current Covid-19 crisis.

Further, inquiries were made on the procedure being followed in the provision of medicines and other essential aid to individuals.

Discussions also revolved around difficulties being faced in providing the services during the global pandemic.

All participants of the meeting were urged to keep in touch with relevant institutes that are based in other regions and outlying atolls in order to provide the essential services and assistance for them as well.

VP Naseem ordered the institutions to monitor the quality of the services being provided to the needy, during Monday’s meeting.
