In a significant contribution to the Maldives’ healthcare sector, Champa Brothers has donated physiotherapy equipment to the islands of HA. Hoarafushi, Lh. Hinnavaru, and Lh. Kurendhoo. The donation was marked by a special ceremony held on Tuesday at Champa Central, with Minister of Health Dr. Abdulla Khaleel attending as the chief guest.
The equipment was handed over to the council authorities of the respective islands by Sara Moosa, daughter of Champa Mohamed Moosa. The ceremony highlighted the vital role of the private sector in supporting healthcare services, a contribution that was particularly evident during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Minister Khaleel praised the private sector's efforts, mentioning how Tree Top Hospital provided free services to locals for three months during the pandemic. He emphasized the importance of strengthening primary healthcare in the Maldives, a key policy of President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu.
“Physical exercises are a crucial component of primary healthcare,” said Khaleel. He stressed the need for accessible treatment and physiotherapy for patients with long-term health issues. “The equipment gifted today will benefit the public of Hoarafushi, Kurendhoo, and Hinnavaru, as well as neighboring islands. Patients will no longer need to make lengthy trips to seek physiotherapy treatment,” he added.
The donation by Champa Brothers is expected to significantly enhance the quality of healthcare in these islands. It reflects the company’s commitment to community welfare and support for the government’s healthcare initiatives. Minister Khaleel expressed his gratitude towards Champa Brothers for their generous contribution.
This move is a part of a broader effort to improve healthcare infrastructure across the Maldives, ensuring that residents in more remote areas have access to essential medical services. By providing the necessary equipment for physiotherapy, Champa Brothers is helping to address a critical gap in the healthcare system.
The donation ceremony not only underscored the importance of private sector involvement in public health but also highlighted the collaborative efforts required to build a robust healthcare system. The new physiotherapy equipment will serve the needs of many patients, improving their quality of life and reducing the burden on central healthcare facilities.
As the Maldives continues to recover from the pandemic, contributions like these play a crucial role in building a resilient and effective healthcare system. The initiative by Champa Brothers sets a commendable example for other private sector entities to follow, demonstrating how corporate social responsibility can have a lasting positive impact on communities.
