Aasandha has signed an agreement with three hospitals to provide Aasandha health insurance scheme for Maldivian patients in Thailand and UAE.

The agreement was signed with Bangkok Hospital, World Medical Hospital and Burjeel Medical City (BMC) in Dubai.

Aasandha said its health insurance scheme will be available at the three hotels under special procedures starting January 15.

President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu promised to expand Aasandha to UAE and Thailand in addition to India and Sri Lanka.

The government has been taking steps to reform Aasandha with new rules that deny coverage for outpatient services for those who have private insurance schemes.
