This includes support for vulnerable groups: running nutrition programs for infants and mothers, providing assistance or stipends to low-income households, and coordinating with NGOs on programs for orphans or at-risk youth. The ministry\u2019s Social Services division might operate community centers for the elderly and coordinate disability services (though there is a dedicated ministry for Disability Affairs, they work closely together). Mental health and preventive health education are also emerging focus areas \u2013 the ministry trains community health workers to educate the public on hygiene, family planning, and disease prevention (such as malaria control or managing diabetes). Moreover, the ministry ensures Moh\u00e9li\u2019s alignment with national health policies, such as responding to epidemics (like dengue or COVID-19 if relevant) in coordination with the Union Ministry of Health. By strengthening healthcare infrastructure (for instance, upgrading Fomboni Hospital with modern equipment ) and expanding social safety nets, the Ministry of Health and Social Services strives to improve quality of life. It is dedicated to a vision of Moh\u00e9li where every citizen has access to medical care and social support, contributing to a healthy, productive
