Some 700 people benefited from a multidisciplinary medical caravan organised on 18 and 19 December in Azrou by the Moroccan Association of Endo-Urology (AMEU) in collaboration with Al Akhawayn University and the Ifrane province.

Benefiting the destitute people of the city of Azrou and its regions, this campaign focused on medical services in various specialties, notably urology, gynaecology, dermatology, cardiology, gastrology, ENT, and general medicine, reports MAP.

This operation, which was a great success, was supervised by the staff of the centre and the medical service of Al Akhawayn University.

On the same occasion, an awareness-raising session on organ donation was organised with all its administrative and legal modalities in order to mobilise the public present on the importance of this humanitarian action of great socio-educational and medical utility.

Likewise, several patients benefited from surgical procedures to treat prostatic pathology with the vaporisation technology using the TURIS system, which constitutes a first in the region.

Without risks for patients, this technology aims to treat prostate patients particularly among the elderly, cardiac patients, and people suffering from blood diseases, and has the particularity of shortening the hospital stay, which does not exceed a day.

According to the Secretary General of the AMEU, this specialised medical caravan is the third of its kind organised within a framework of partnership with Al Akhawayn University.

It is part of the policy of promoting the health sector in the Azrou region and the medical follow-up of patients already examined during the last two medical caravans, he specified.

The AMEU has to its credit a series of specialised cultural and scientific activities of a social nature, including notably medical caravans for the benefit of destitute populations, such as the one organised recently in the southern zone.
