The State Trading Organisation (STO) has handed over biomedical equipment worth US$900,000 to the health ministry.
Yesterday (December 20) STO Managing Director Adam Azim handed over 1500 pieces of equipment including patient monitors, ECG machines, defibrillators, and vital sign monitors to acting health minister Mohamed Nazim at a ceremony at Nasandhura Palace Hotel.
The shipment is the first in a US$4million venture to provide all necessary equipment to all the hospitals and health centers in the Maldives.
As the STO marks its 50th anniversary this year, the company has expanded its services in the islands, launching an ambitious programme along with the health ministry to provide ambulances and establish pharmacies on every island.
