Maldives Correctional Service (MCS) has conducted a medical camp for inmates of Asseyri Prison in Himmafushi, Kaafu Atoll.
The medical camp was jointly organised by MCS and Himmafushi Island Council. The camp was held in association with the health centres of Himmafushi and Maafushi. During this camp, 20 inmates sought consultation and treatment from specialist doctors in dermatology, internal medicine and dentistry.
MCS said the objective of such a camp is to facilitate medical consultations and treatment for inmates in a fast and efficient manner. MCS noted the camp was held to resolve the difficulties faced in providing medical treatment for inmates due to travel complications. MCS added the camp also provided the opportunity for members of the general public to seek treatment on medical issues.
MCS expressed gratitude to the health centres of Maafushi and Himmafushi for their continuous assistance in providing medical assistance to inmates and detainees of Asseyri Prison.
