MOROCCO – A new primary care centre has opened at the Mohammed VI University in Tangier, the cosmopolitan city located in the northern part of Morocco.
The inauguration ceremony was officiated by His Majesty Sidi Mohammed bin Hassan al-Alawi, the King of Morocco.
This news follows the launch of a proximity medical centre (CMP) christened Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity in Errahma in Casablanca’s Dar Bouazza Commune.
Mohammed VI University Hospital Center (CHU) will offer comprehensive healthcare services to the residents of the port city and advanced training to nurses, doctors, and pharmacists.
This medical complex sits on a 23-hectare site located near the regional oncology center, the nurse training institute, and the School of Medicine & Pharmacy.
The facility is outfitted with the latest medical technologies and trained medical personnel to provide the best possible in-patient and out-patient hospital services in various specialities.
Located in the urban commune of Gueznaya in the Tangier-Assilah prefecture, the center complements the functions of the faculty of medicine and pharmacy.
Co-financed by the State budget and the Qatari Fund for Development, the state-of-the-art facility is projected to allow for the structuring of medical care in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region.
It is one of the many development projects launched by the Sovereign in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region to strengthen its international influence and attractiveness.
