Policies, Interventions and Actions

Obesity - National Standard Treatment Guidline

The Maldives Standard Treatment Guidelines (STGs) are intended to provide guidance for the prevention, early detection, treatment, and management of obesity in adults and children, adapted to the Maldivian context. They are evidence-based, practical recommendations covering medical, nutritional, behavioural, and lifestyle-based interventions. (Document in English)

Physical Activity for Healthier Living

The main objective of formulating the National Guidelines for Physical Activity is to promote an active lifestyle, which is a key intervention for controlling non-communicable diseases, and to raise awareness and familiarise the public with physical activity and exercise for a healthy lifestyle. The policy is based on four main principles which include working together with political figures and other relevant bodies to change people's attitudes towards exercise, raise awareness of physical activity and educate people about healthy living. The goal of physical activity policies and standards is to reduce the proportion of people who are not adequately physically active to 10% by organising opportunities for exercise in a safe environment. In addition, building and raising awareness of people in the field and working together with relevant sectors is also the main basis of the policy.
