HM King Mohammed VI inaugurated at Tit Mellil a medical psycho-social centre, a solidarity-based project to provide psychological and social care for peoples with stabilized mental diseases.

Carried out by the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity for 8 million MAD, this centre mirrors the sovereign's deep conviction to make the right to have access to services one of the main pillars for fostering citizenship and achieving a durable, comprehensive and integrated human development. It is part of an action plan led by the Foundation to support the national medical sector via reinforcing the existing medical offer, improving access to health care for poor populations, and integrating a complementary social approach in support mechanisms for patients and beneficiaries.

An integral part of the 2016-2020 Casablanca-Settat region community socio-medical program, initiated by the Foundation pursuant to the royal instructions, the facility, whose building works were launched by the sovereign on June 8, 2017, will meet the deficit in medical infrastructure to provide psychological and social care for mentally unstable people.
The new centre offers activities to develop patients' relational and learning abilities, and reinforce their independence, sense of responsibility and well-being. It proposes trainings and handicrafts for patients to break their isolation, rebuild their self-esteem and reintegrate them quickly and easily back into society.

Built over 2,851 square meters, the rehabilitation centre includes a medical department with consultations rooms for general medicine, psychiatry and psychology, a pharmacy, a community area housing workshops for hairdressing, plastic art and cooking, in addition to halls for gymnastics, computer sciences and training.

It also has a therapeutic garden, a meeting room, a refreshment room with a kitchen, a multi-purpose room, and other administrative and technical outbuildings.
The Tit Mellil Centre is the second of its kind initiated by the Foundation in the Casablanca-Settat region, after the one inaugurated by HM the King in the Moulay Rachid district on June 2, 2017.
Until February 2018, more than 3,500 health care seekers went to the Moulay Rachid district centre, where nearly 1,300 people (aged 18-60) were able, after their admission, to integrate the medical-social process.
