Medical Facilities
| All resorts have first aid facilities and on some you can get the services of a resident doctor and facilities for minor treatment. Some have clinics with separate observation rooms and small pharmacies. The Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH) and the ADK Hospital are the two major hospitals in Male'. In addition there are a number of smaller clinics where you may consult a doctor. In both the IGMH and ADK, doctors are on duty 24 hours of the day. Both conduct surgery and offer a number of specialist services. |

Safety
| Travellers across the world are understandably more concerned about personal safety and security issues today than ever before. The Maldives Tourism Promotion Board would like to inform all their tourists that Maldives's track record for safety and stability is intact. Maldives's reputation as a safe and secure destination is well known and it enjoys one of the lowest crime rates in the world. |
