HIBAPRESS – Casablanca
The construction of the new regional hospital in Mohammedia is ongoing, a project expected to enhance the healthcare offerings in the city and its surrounding areas. Simultaneously, voices have begun to call for this development to be accompanied by a review of the security arrangements related to the site.
These demands primarily concern placing the area hosting the project under the territorial jurisdiction of national security, given the importance of the anticipated health facility and the potential future increase in movement of patients, visitors, medical staff, and guests.
The plot of land where the hospital is being built is located within the territory of the Beni Yakhlef commune, an area currently under the security jurisdiction of the Royal Gendarmerie. According to proponents of these demands, this raises the need to consider the nature of the security coverage that will accompany the hospital's opening.
Those making these demands believe that the nature of the hospital, its location, and its direct relationship with the city of Mohammedia make enhancing security presence around it important, especially considering the large numbers of citizens expected to frequent the facility daily. This necessitates providing suitable conditions to ensure the safety and security of patients, visitors, and staff at the health facility.
