Dr Shah Mahir has been appointed as the Managing Director of the newly established State Pharmaceutical and Medical Supply Corporation, the Privatization and Corporatization Board announced today.

The corporation, formed last Tuesday, is tasked with handling the procurement and distribution of pharmaceuticals, medical consumables, and medical equipment across the Maldives. According to the President’s Office, the company will manage bulk imports and ensure medical supplies reach all regions of the country.

Alongside Dr Shah Mahir, three board members were also appointed: Aishath Mohamed, M. Kurehdhooge, and Shibana Abdulla Didi.

Dr Shah Mahir previously served as Deputy CEO at Dharumavantha Hospital and held the position of State Minister for Health during former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih’s administration. His experience in healthcare management is expected to guide the new corporation in strengthening the country’s pharmaceutical supply chain.

The creation of the State Pharmaceutical and Medical Supply Corporation reflects the government’s efforts to streamline medical procurement and ensure consistent access to essential health products nationwide.
