Carried out by the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity, these projects consist of building a center for diabetes diagnosis and treatment at the Al Mariniyine district and a hemodialysis center at the Zouagha district for an amount of 17 million dirhams.
These projects show the sovereign's solicitude for patients with chronic diseases and his resolve to ensure a better access to basic health services. They are in line with efforts made by the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity and seeking to help underprivileged people access health care, and reinforce basic infrastructure.
The diabetes diagnosis and treatment center will raise awareness and provide health care for diabetes patients, enable early detection of diabetes degenerative complications and supervise and train regional stakeholders in the field.
The facility (5 mln MAD) will include a medical laboratory, a day hospital ward, consultation rooms, a nutrition education room, an infirmary, a kitchen, and a multipurpose room.
As for the hemodialysis center, it will contribute to relieving the Nephrology department at the Fez Hassan II University Hospital, and will monitor the progression of chronic renal failure due to the high prevalence of diabetes and hypertension.
The center (12 mln MAD) will receive up to 300 patients per day and provide medical care for them especially needy people. It will include 60 dialysis machines, rooms for ultrasound, electrocardiography, water treatment, check-up, awareness-rasing and nutrition education, and a medical laboratory.
