The hospital is a gift from the Indian Government and is dedicated to Indira Gandhi. It is the largest government healthcare facility, providing tertiary level healthcare in the Maldives. Located in the capital city Male’, with approximately 300 beds, IGMH provides services to around 150,000 people living in the city, plus specialist referral services for patients both domestic and foreign. Along with specialist consultations, IGMH houses investigative and imaging technologies in diagnostics. It fully covered by Aasandha social healthcare insurance.

Central Hospital was later demolished and the location was leased to a private party by the Government to make another hospital. IGMH provides efficient patient-centered healthcare fully covered by the health insurance, Aasandha. History
The Maldivian government began providing healthcare services at a national level 75 years ago, with the first healthcare facility providing modern medical care being established on 11 January 1948 under the name “Dakutaruge”. After this, the government established and started the medical healthcare services in Central Hospital. In October 1986, the Maldivian government requested India's assistance in building a large scale hospital during Rajiv Gandhi's official visit. It was agreed to by Rajiv Gandhi; two years later, India and Maldives signed a memorandum of understanding in October 1988. The foundation was laid on 14 January 1990 and it took almost 5 years to complete the hospital. The hospital was officially handed over to the Maldivian Government by the Indian Union Minister for Urban Development, Shrimathi Sheila Kaul, on 2 February 1994. It was officially inaugurated on 15 April 1995, by P. V. Narasimha Rao. Central Hospital's services were moved to the current facility, with the help of Indian Government and the name was changed to Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital, on 21 April 1996.
