Bengaluru: With its sustained collaboration with the Maldivian government–funded Aasandha scheme, Manipal Hospitals ensures uninterrupted access to world-class, multi-specialty treatment for Maldivian citizens.

Due to its close proximity and low cost, India has always been the preferred destination for Maldivians in need of advanced medical care.
