This initiative falls within the framework of implementing the high royal directives aimed at caring for the health of citizens, as well as in the context of implementing the national and regional plan to address the effects of cold waves, by bringing health services closer and improving their quality for the benefit of the rural population. This caravan was organized in partnership between the Regional Delegation of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection in El Hajeb, and the Aghnoudis Association for Health and Family Development in Meknes, under the supervision of the Regional Directorate of Health and Social Protection in the Fes-Meknes region, and in coordination with the local authorities and the territorial community of Ait N'Aman, where Sidi Aissa School hosted the various sections of this initiative. The caravan provided a comprehensive package of medical services, including general and specialized examinations, early detection of a number of diseases, including blood pressure, diabetes, breast and cervical cancer, in addition to school health services, pregnancy follow-up, ultrasound examinations, and laboratory tests, as well as the free distribution of medicines. This initiative was also distinguished by the organization of awareness and awareness sessions for the population, covering the areas of health prevention, healthy nutrition and the importance of periodic examinations, from which a large number of citizens benefited, within the framework of promoting health culture in the rural area.
