It is fitting that now India’s premier and path breaking teleradiology company is helping this vision.”
Mr Zubair Mohammed, Managing Director of Male’ Health Services Corporation Limited (MHSC) – which runs IGMH in the Maldives said, “The IGMH is an important mile stone in the Maldivian governments’ efforts to provide sustainable, high quality health services to its public.
