Rabat – A medical helicopter was called to the rescue of two people in eastern Morocco over the weekend, according to a press release issued by the Health Ministry.
The Ministry said that the helicopter (SAMU 05) transported a pregnant woman from the eastern town of Guercif to the Regional Hospital Center El Farabi in the city of Oujda. The medical team performed a C-section (cesarean) on the woman who gave birth to a healthy baby boy.
