Following what was circulated through some social media regarding the health situation at the 20th August Hospital in Azrou, and in the context of responsible interaction with the statement issued by the Moroccan Association for Human Rights, Azrou branch, the hospital administration announces the following to the public:
The hospital administration confirms that the medical and nursing staff did not go on any strike, and no work stoppage was recorded for protest reasons. Our medical and nursing teams have continued to perform their professional duty with full responsibility, in order to preserve the right of patients to treatment.
Regarding biomedical equipment, the administration acknowledges a temporary shortage of some surgical supplies, which necessitated limiting surgical activity to emergency cases only, while ensuring the safety of patients and respecting the applicable medical standards. This situation lasted for no more than two weeks, with the confirmation that the waiting list for surgical operations in various specializations did not experience a noticeable overcrowding.
The hospital administration dealt with the situation immediately and responsibly, taking all necessary measures to provide the missing equipment, and scheduled routine surgical operations starting from Monday, December 15, 2025, in appropriate conditions that ensure the quality of health services provided to patients.
The hospital administration affirms its permanent commitment to improving working conditions, providing essential medical supplies, and positively interacting with all constructive observations in the interest of patients and preserving the dignity of health staff.
The administration also emphasizes that the health of citizens remains a top priority, and will continue to take all measures to ensure the continuity and quality of health services, while opening up to various events within the framework of a responsible and constructive dialogue.
At the conclusion of the statement, the hospital administration expresses its pride in the tremendous efforts of the medical and nursing staff and all employees of the institution, confirming the continuation of work to advance the health sector in the region in a way that meets the aspirations of the population.
