Mental health illnesses are alarmingly high in the Maldives with a large number of people who wish to seek medical care for their respective illnesses unable to do so with limited resources in the nation.

However, the current administration has launched a 24-hour mental health helpline. Such a helpline was first incepted by Maldives Red Crescent during the COVID-19 pandemic.
