Health issues
Now here is a pressing issue for me. The lack of articles on different dhivehi websites about current health issues in the Maldives. Articles or web links which provides the readers information about a certain disease that's spreading around and how to prevent and treat etc etc aren't practically non existent.I was surfing the other day and checking out various sites, which i thought might have links providing such information.I was specifically looking for anything related to Chikungunya Fever.But i didnt find any such links or articles.I checked out the haveeru website through which i couldn't find anything about it.Finally i tried to access the Ministry of Health website.The freaking web page was refreshing by itself every 2 seconds and i couldnt get to see anything on it. Their web master must be in a coma or something!What a shame on the health system!And to the goverment web network in general!!!!Shame on them!!
I believe that these websites should offer information relevant for the normal population about such epidemics.Concuring an epidemic through educating the mass population is vital.
Oh,i gotta run now.. I will continue ranting about this another time..

Yes. It is a concerning problem for all.
Health education needs to be incorporated in the treatment of people.By this i am saying that doctors need to eduacte the people on the disease who they are treating.
For example, about diabetics. Doctors can explain to the patients why insulin is needed. How insuin is produced with the help of pictures and diagrams.
Theses little things can help in achieving better results for the patient and the system.
true abt the ministry of health website! but umm, watch tvm news reports..and umm,,raajje miadhu..if u watch them, ul understand y journalists do not publish abt chikun gunya and stuff..theres nuthing media can do abt it, cx the doctors refuse to giv info wen we ask them to!!! and we cant bring reports to the public without a credible source..
MaldivesHealth,i do share ur concern over that.I believe that we doctor's should prepare some patient educating materials to hand out to patients.
Shweeeet,i understand how everything is always kept under a lid in Maldives.But i believe that journalists can always do research and there are worldwide credible sources to which they can refer to when they prepare such documents.
