The President decides to build 'Isravvehinge Hiyaavahi' in Addu City
Upon the Cabinet's recommendation, the President has decided to establish an "Isravvehinge Hiyaavahi" facility in Addu City, Feydhoo. This facility will aim to provide quality services to nurture an environment where senior citizens in need of care, due to lack of family support, can spend the rest of their lives happy and content. The decision was made following deliberations on a paper submitted by the Ministry of Social and Family Development to the Cabinet yesterday.
Following the President's decision, the Government will implement a programme rewarding points to individuals who live with or care for senior citizens in newly established housing schemes, allowing families to live with seniors. President Dr Muizzu additionally resolved to amend the laws and regulations protecting the rights of senior citizens.
