Dr Shah Mahir, Deputy CEO of Dharumavantha Hospital, has been appointed as the Managing Director of the newly formed State Pharmaceutical and Medical Supply Corporation Limited.
The corporation, established last week, is tasked with overseeing the bulk import of medicines, medical consumables, and equipment into the Maldives. On Sunday, the Privatisation and Corporatisation Board (PCB) announced the first appointments to its board.
Alongside Dr Shah, who will also serve as a board member, the PCB named Aishath Mohamed and Shibana Abdulla Didi to the board.
Dr Shah brings extensive experience in the health sector, having previously served as State Minister at the Ministry of Health under both the current administration and the former government of President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih. He resigned from the position in August 2023 at the end of that administration’s term, later assuming his most recent role at Dharumavantha Hospital.
