ADK Hospital[1] (Dhivehi: އޭޑީކޭ ހޮސްޕިޓަލް) is the first and the largest private tertiary care hospital in Maldives. The hospital is one of the two major private hospitals located in Greater Malé region. The acronym ‘ADK’ is derived from the name late Abdul Rahman Dhon Kaleyfaanu,[2] who is the father of Ahmed Nashid, one of the founding members of ADK Group.
The logo of ADK Hospital was rebranded in late 2008. The new logo depicts a snake wrapped around a wand representing the rod of Asclepius, which is used as an international medical symbol depicting healing through medicine. The apple denotes health and well-being as well as prevention.
Historyedit
The origins of ADK Hospital go back to the small clinic founded in 1987 by Mr. Ahmed Nashid and Late Mr. Hassan Ibrahim under the name of "Mediclinic". This marked the beginning of the ADK Group of companies. The facilities of the clinic were extended and strengthened over the five years that followed to satisfy the need of the clients of the clinics. The service was named ADK Medical Center in 1992. The group realized its most notable single development in 1996: the establishment of ADK Hospital in Male', the first private hospital in the Maldives, which brought about a monumental shift in the group's future direction.[3]
