The camp provided an opportunity for residents of the islands and resorts in the Shaviyani Atoll region to access high-quality healthcare and specialist consultations, eliminating the need to travel to Male'. A total of 350 people participated in the program.

Tree Top Hospital’s specialist team for the camp included experts in Orthopedics, Neurosurgery, Dermatology, Endocrinology, Pulmonology, and Urology.

In addition to patient consultations, the camp featured specialized sessions aimed at enhancing the skills and knowledge of the staff at Shaviyani Atoll Hospital.

This marks the 17th health camp conducted by Tree Top Hospital across the atolls. To date, these initiatives have provided medical services to more than 4,000 people.

Tree Top Hospital continues to play a leading role in the Maldivian healthcare sector. The hospital’s primary objective is to introduce innovative practices and services, thereby reducing the dependency on overseas medical travel and lowering healthcare costs for the public.
