According to KRH Information Officer Mohamed Moosa, the newly developed ICU with 6 beds is located on the top floor of the recently established three-storey ‘Kaani Wing’ building at the hospital.

As part of the new ICU development project, an area has also been created for doctors and nurses, and more than MVR 16 million has been spent on the project.
