The Asia-Pacific Action Alliance on Human Resources for Health (AAAH) has awarded the Maldives for its efforts to revitalise primary healthcare and strengthen public health delivery.
Officials presented the accolade to the Ministry of Health, Family and Welfare during the 14th AAAH conference in Bali, Indonesia. The award recognises collaboration between the ministry’s Primary Health Care Revitalisation Team and the World Health Organization country office in the Maldives.
The alliance selected the Maldives as one of two recipients in the Primary Health Care Team category. Judges chose just four winners from 174 nominations across multiple regions at the biennial conference.
The recognition highlights ongoing national initiatives to improve access to primary care across the atolls.
