President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has approved the creation of Tobacco Cessation Clinics across the Maldives, following recommendations from the Ministry of Health. The clinics will provide support to individuals looking to quit tobacco use and will offer necessary medications through hospitals nationwide. This initiative is part of a broader government strategy to reduce tobacco consumption, which includes legislative amendments and increased levies on tobacco products.
