It was a particularly busy day at IGMH today. The IPD atrium was filled with people of all ages. It appeared as if something was going down at the hospital. Something big.
We had arrived at the hospital at around mid-morning with a friend who was scheduled to consult a doctor at the OPD. Incidentally, a dead body was brought to IGMH by the Maldives Police Services and there was a buzz around the place. Had we not waited a while longer, we would have sworn that everyone was talking about the Bagladeshi national who had apparently taken his own life. We did wait and so did we find out that the story on everyones lips was different. The muffled sounds were for something entirely different.
Yes, IGMH had begun introducing their new patient database and the registration process was causing a few glitches. The crowd at the counters were very well-mannered and patient. They were warned of possible delays and inconveniences. All the counters and service stations were very slow in delivering the services. There was chaos like never before. Everyones patience was tested.
Surprisingly, but thankfully, the vast majority of the people bore the difficulties, accepted the delays and cooperated in the difficult and time consuming process. If the new system was going to make things better in the days to come they were apparently willing to wait patiently for now.
Chaos and confusion at IGMH!

Sweet talk will not get us anywhere.
That was very far from sweet talk. That was a tribute to the patience shown by the people of this country of our.
The new system, we believe is needed. It is the way the it is being rolled in that we are unhappy about.
You are dreaming if you think it is going to work.
people get real maldives health system will improve but it will take time maybe years..the biggest reason i see is lack of maldivian doctors trained in specialities...
