The project will be carried out for a cost of MAD 67 million.
Rabat – King Mohammed VI launched the construction of the “Community Medical Center-Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity” in Rabat’s twin city, Sale in the Tabriquet district on Friday.
The project is in line with a campaign led by King Mohammed VI, who has been inaugurating several medical facilities throughout the holy month of Ramadan.
The project seeks to ensure the right of access to health services for all citizens and promote the health sector.
Initiated by the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity, the project seeks to serve a population of 300,000 people to reduce the pressure on existing hospitals in the region.
Maghreb Arab Press (MAP) reported that the project also aims to increase access for the area’s economically disadvantaged by providing closer medical centers to prevent them from taking long trips to receive care.
