Maldives Correctional Service on Saturday, 07th January 2023, denied rumors that it has actively ceased providing insurance coverage to staff.
Several media outlets have reported on Friday claiming Correctional Service has halted its insurance coverage to prison officers and rehabilitation service staff. Correctional Service spokesperson Aminath Yusreen Ahmed has since refuted media claims.

According to Yusreen, Correctional Service had signed a one-year contract with a local insurance provider in 2022.
“The contract would have expired with the end of the year, right? We are communicating with another insurance provider to re-start insurance coverage. This hasn’t been finalized yet,” she said.
While Maldives Correctional Service is communicating with an insurance provider to resume insurance coverage, Yusreen added the authority was facing some delays in renewing the coverage.
