I’ve seen multiple government bots claiming that we get USD 3,000 for flight tickets, USD 1,000 for POS transactions, and USD 250 for e-commerce.

That’s not how it works.

I don’t get to buy a flight ticket and then travel abroad with another USD 1,000 POS card limit.

I’ve confirmed this directly with the @bankofmaldives . A return ticket to China costs around USD 700–800. Once I purchase the ticket, I’m left with only USD 200–300 for POS transactions.

I don’t blame BML for this, as the bank has not promoted it that way. It’s the political bots who have been spreading this misleading narrative.

This needs urgent attention from those responsible for our healthcare system.

“WE DEMAND PROPER HEALTHCARE ACROSS ALL ISLANDS OF THE MALDIVES.

How many more lives must be lost before emergency healthcare is taken seriously across our islands?

Yesterday morning, at approximately 06:30, our family faced a medical emergency in Villimalé. My mother suddenly developed severe breathing difficulties and was fighting for her life. We immediately called for an ambulance.

It took more than 20 minutes for the ambulance to arrive.

Twenty minutes in a place like Villimalé, where you can walk from one end of the island to the other in less than five minutes. How is that acceptable in an emergency?

And when the ambulance finally arrived, it came with nothing more than a driver. No nurse, no paramedic, no medical professional to provide immediate emergency assistance to someone struggling to breathe.

At that point, what is the purpose of calling an ambulance? We might as well have called a taxi.

But what happened next at the hospital was even more heartbreaking.

We arrived expecting immediate medical attention. The doctor eventually arrived with his child, left the child at the reception and began attempting to save my mother’s life.

Our family was standing there desperately hoping and praying for a miracle. After attempting to revive my mother, the doctor apologised, told us to wait a minute and left again to drop his child at school.

Let that sink in.

A family was watching their mother fight for her life, and in those critical moments, we witnessed a situation that raises serious questions about emergency medical coverage, staffing and preparedness.

I am not writing this out of anger alone. I am writing this because what happened to my family should never become another family’s experience.

This is not simply about one ambulance, one doctor or one hospital. This is about a healthcare system that needs to be questioned and held accountable.

* Why does an ambulance take more than 20 minutes to respond to an emergency in such a small island?
* Why are ambulances operating without trained medical personnel to provide immediate emergency care?
* Why is there no proper emergency medical coverage available around the clock?
* Why should patients and their families have to face such uncertainty when every second matters?
* Who is responsible for ensuring that emergency medical services are actually ready when people need them?

We are not asking for luxury healthcare. We are asking for the most basic human right: timely, professional and accessible emergency medical care.

People living in Villimalé and other inhabited islands deserve the same standard of emergency healthcare as those living in Malé.

An emergency does not wait for office hours. A person struggling to breathe cannot wait for someone to become available. Every second can make the difference between life and death.

Every second matters. Every life matters. Every island matters.

We demand answers. We demand transparency. We demand accountability. Most importantly, we demand immediate improvements to ambulance services, emergency medical staffing and healthcare facilities across all islands of the Maldives.

Please do not let this become just another heartbreaking story that people read today and forget tomorrow.

No family should ever have to experience this. No one should have to wonder whether an ambulance will arrive with someone capable of saving a life.

My mother deserved better. Every mother, father, son and daughter in this country deserves better.”

We are deeply concerned about reports of
‼️ unidentified individuals‼️ attempting to cut down a mature PROTECTED TREE in Villimale today.
@WAMCOmv has been responsible for such tree felling activities in the past.
Are random individuals able to cut down our trees?

For months, thalassaemia patients have been struggling to get their essential iron chelation medicines. Every time supplies run out, we are given barely two weeks’ worth and told to wait again. “A shipment is coming.” “It’s on the way.” “It will arrive soon.” Yet the shortages continue.

These are not medicines we take occasionally. We need them every day, for the rest of our lives. We cannot put our illness on hold until the next shipment arrives.

And this is not just a thalassaemia problem. We recognize that medicine shortages are affecting people across the Maldives, especially those living with chronic illnesses who depend on lifelong medication and regular injections.

Patients needing treatment for osteoporosis, hormonal deficiencies, and other complications have also gone eight months or longer without essential medicines. Some manage to secure a month's supply, only to face months of uncertainty again. Interrupting certain treatments can have serious, lasting consequences. This is not merely an inconvenience; it puts people's health at risk.

We understand that establishing a new state pharmaceutical system comes with challenges. But how long can the same excuses continue? State Pharma was meant to ensure access to essential medicines. Patients deserve more than shipment announcements and empty promises. They deserve a system that delivers.

And here's what makes this even harder to accept: Parliament’s Finance Committee reportedly took just 82 minutes to approve MVR 39.5 million in annual pay rises and allowances for senior officials and over 600 island councillors. When it comes to their own salaries and benefits, decisions move fast. When it comes to patients waiting months for essential medicines, suddenly everything takes time.

If MPs cite struggling constituents to justify higher salaries, shouldn't we ask why people must turn to politicians for help with basic healthcare in the first place?

We are not asking for luxuries. We are asking for the medicines our lives and health depend on.

And to those responsible: if you cannot even ensure that people have access to essential medicines, do the country a favor and resign. Go home. If you're not willing to do that, then stop making excuses, get your act together, and do the job you're being paid to do. The public didn't elect you to make promises. They elected you to deliver.

Enough promises. Enough excuses. Patients need their medicines, not another announcement that they're on the way.

It’s so easy to spread things illegally in the Maldives in any form because our authorities seem far too interested in filling their own pockets. This is seriously alarming, especially right now in the Maldives.

We live in a country where the healthcare our Political leader and MPs give us isn’t good enough for their families, the education isn’t good enough for their children, the banks for their money, the food for their tables, or public services for their needs.

They build one system for us and another for themselves.

And the cruel irony? Both systems are paid for with OUR tax money.

If what they’ve built is good enough for us, why isn’t it good enough for them?
