Abstract
It is difficult to quantify the major health scourges from which the Maldivians suffer because of the scattered nature of their settlements and their conservative attitudes to health and hygiene-related matters. Projects to improve the quality of the health and disease data have been instituted by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Maldivian Ministry of Health. The paper analyses information that has since become available on three major ill-health conditions in the Maldives, namely infant deaths, malaria and leprosy.
