This National Standard for Ambulance Services outlines minimum requirements for providing ambulance services, aiming to establish specific requirements for different types of ambulance vehicles. It also specifies the technical competencies required for ambulance staff. All emergency medical vehicles, including ground, sea, and air ambulances, emergency first responders, and sprint vehicles, must fulfill the requirements of this standard to be licensed by the Ministry of Health.Item Management of transfusion dependent thalassaemias (TDT) in the Maldives(Maldivan Blood Services, 2022) Faisal, Ahmed; އަޙްމަދު ފައިސަލްABOUT THALASSAEMIA Definition halassaemia is a group of blood disorder characterized by decreased or absent synthesis of normal globin chains. According to the chain whose synthesis is impaired, the thalassaemia is called α-, β-, γ-, δ -, δβ-, or εγδβ-thalassaemias. Thalassaemia comes under the broad spectrum of genetic blood disorders known as haemoglobinopathies. Clinical picture of haemoglobinopathies can vary from patients who require occasional blood transfusions (such as HbE-Beta thalassaemia) to patients who require regular lifelong blood transfusions (such as Beta thalassaemia major). Thalassemia is very common in Maldives. Any child present with severe anaemia should be investigated for both thalassemia and iron deficiency anaemia. Genetic basis of thalassaemia Most thalassaemia is inherited as autosomal recessive traits. The Figure 1 below gives the risk categorization of affected children from different partner matches.Item Central and regional mental health development plan 2022 - 2025(Ministry of Health, 2021) Ministry of Health; މިނިސްޓްރީ އޮފް ހެލްތްItem Maldives gender and health(World Health Organization, 2023)Item Maldives healthcare quality standards(Quality Assurance and Regulation Division, Ministry of Health, 2022) Quality Assurance and Regulation DivisionThe government has two objectives in setting these Healthcare Quality standards- firstly to ensure the service guarantees that it has made are honoured and secondly, to ensure that there is a conscious effort to address the quality dimension, so as to ensure that services provided are not only effective but also safe, comfortable and are rendered with dignity. Also the government recognises that a commitment to quality requires an approach of continuous improvement, where provision of quality services becomes part of the work culture. The Ministry of Health endeavors to ensure that the community accessing a facility is assured for availability of Services, which meets predefined quality bench-marks. The Quality Assurance Standards along measurable elements for each level of health facility are being published to help in measuring Quality of care. We believe in the words of James H Harrington that ’If you can’t measure something, you can’t understand it. If you can’t understand it, you can’t control it. If you can’t control it, you can’t improve it.” It also needs to be remembered that that end-objectives of implementing Quality of Healthcare (QoC) at health facilities is not achieved by the assessment merely, if no action gets taken for closure of the gaps, which are found on assessment. I would urge all officials of Ministry of Health, Hospitals and Health Centers to continuously review the performance of health facilities, and take required steps for improving it. I wish to acknowledge support of WHO Country Office in formulation and development of these Quality Standards, a standard that also meets the international norms in measuring quality of healthcare.
