On November 13 and 14, The Foundation Mohammed V for Solidarity continues its field activities for the month of November with the launch of a major medical-surgical campaign to treat citizens in the province of Safi.This campaign will bring healthcare directly to the residents of Abda, Sebt Gzoula, and Hrara, facilitating access to consultations and specialized medical services.

Assistance from local authorities, the Provincial Delegation of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection, the Mohammed VI University Hospital Center (CHU) of Marrakech, the Moroccan Medical Association of Solidarity (AMMS), the Higher Institute of Nursing Professions and Health Techniques (ISPITS) of Safi, and the Mohammed VI Foundation for Persons with Disabilities all support this campaign.

The healthcare services offered cover several specialties including paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology, gastroenterology, cardiology, rheumatology, ophthalmology, otorhinolaryngology, nephrology, urology, dermatology, and dental care. Radiology examinations, biological analyses, and dispensation of medication will also complement the multidisciplinary services. Cataract surgery is also an important component of the campaign. The initial patient identification phase which took place on October 24 and 25 in Tlat Bouguedra, led to 645 ophthalmological consultations and assessments, evaluated the state of health and confirmed surgical indications for residents in need.

In total, the Foundation plans to treat 2,500 people and perform 140 cataract surgeries.

All activities are grouped together on a single specially equipped site in Tlat Bouguedra, centred around two distinct care circuits. The first is dedicated to consultations and multidisciplinary care. It is organized around general medicine stations and ten mobile medical units dedicated to radiology, dental care, ophthalmology, gynaecology, pharmacy, and biological analyses.

The second circuit is reserved for cataract surgery and pre- and post-operative follow-up. It includes registration, preparation, and rest areas, as well as two units equipped with four operating rooms, in order to guarantee an personalized and safe care pathway.

Significant human resources have been mobilized to ensure the smooth running of the campaign. Fifty-one general practitioners, specialists, and surgeons provide consultations and procedures, with the support of 33 nurses, midwives, and health technicians. The Foundation's teams of doctors and social workers intervene upstream and throughout the campaign to coordinate activities, organize their deployment in the field, and support residents.

Through this initiative, the Foundation strengthens its mission to bring specialized care closer to rural populations, and improving their access to quality medical care.

As a reminder, within the framework of its 2026 program of local medical campaigns, the Foundation has already conducted two operations in the provinces of Taza and Zagora. These campaigns treated 4,350 people, including 2,018 women, and performed 7,423 medical procedures and specialized treatments, as well as 264 cataract surgeries.
