President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih on Saturday reopened a drug rehabilitation and detoxification centre in Addu City.
The center was renovated and reopened after three years, according to state media. When it was shut down in 2016, the only services being offered were community service programmes for heroin addicts.

During his campaign trip over the weekend, President Solih pledged to build the country’s largest drug rehabilitation centre in the southernmost atoll.
