It is noteworthy that Ihusaan has previously assisted in another public emergency. In November 2023, a man who suffered a stroke at the Himmafushi Drug Rehabilitation Center was taken to hospital in the minister’s car.  

The Home Ministry told Sun that Ihusaan was returning from K. Himmafushi on November 28 when the speedboat he was traveling in also carried a patient who had suffered a stroke. The boat arrived in Male' early that evening, but the ambulance had not yet arrived. The patient was then transported to the hospital in Ihusaan’s official car, after which the minister walked home.
