Taounate: More than 1,000 beneficiaries of a multidisciplinary medical caravan
More than 1,000 people from the commune of Oudka, in the province of Taounate, benefited from the services of a multidisciplinary medical caravan recently organised by the Moroccan Association for the Fight Against Obesity, the "Al Amal" Association for Family and Children of Fez, and the "Chams" Association for Education and Development of Fez.

This initiative, organised in collaboration with provincial authorities and in partnership with the provincial delegation of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection in Taounate, as well as the provincial association for the support of patients with kidney failure, was supported by the regional directorate of Health and Social Protection of Fez-Meknes.

The services of this caravan included specialised medical consultations in gynaecology-obstetrics, general medicine, and ophthalmology, reports the MAP.

In this regard, 289 specialised consultations, 174 general medicine consultations, 254 biological analyses, and 22 electrocardiograms were performed.

In addition, 23 ultrasounds, 80 refraction measurements, 132 blood pressure measurements, and 50 breast cancer screenings were carried out.

This caravan is part of solidarity efforts aimed at strengthening access to health services in mountainous and remote areas.

According to the organisers, it reflects the spirit of cooperation and solidarity between associative actors and local health institutions.

The initiative aims to bring various medical services closer to rural populations, particularly vulnerable groups, and to alleviate their suffering.

It also aims to contribute to improving the health offer in the region by providing free, high-quality medical services to local inhabitants, especially the most fragile categories (children, women, and the elderly).
