In the framework of strengthening the health offer and bringing medical services closer to the rural population, the Chawia community witnessed last Sunday, April 19, the organization of a major medical caravan for the benefit of vulnerable groups. This was a joint initiative between the Union of Moroccan Investors and the Regional Bureau of the Moroccan Organization for Justice and Human Rights, in cooperation with the Ghith Association.
This caravan saw significant participation from a select group of medical professionals (19 medical and pharmaceutical cadres), including precise and diverse specializations in response to the urgent needs of the population. The medical list included prominent names from the private sector in the cities of Oujda, Berkane, Taourirt, and Beni Drar, including general practitioners and specialists in ophthalmology, cardiology, and pediatrics, respiratory diseases, dermatology, and gastroenterology, gynecology and obstetrics, neurology, and psychiatry, endocrinology and diabetes, in addition to pharmaceutical cadres to oversee the distribution of medicines. The caravan achieved tangible success in terms of turnout, as more than 700 people benefited from free medical examinations, which included accurate diagnoses and the distribution of essential medicines. The organizers focused on the quality of services provided, and ensuring that the initiative proceeded in conditions that respect the dignity of the citizen and their right to access treatment. The organizers confirmed that this initiative comes as an activation of the values of solidarity and social solidarity, and an embodiment of the pivotal role played by civil society and the investment sector in supporting the health system in rural areas. They also praised the spirit of responsibility shown by the volunteer doctors who answered the call to contribute to alleviating the suffering of the population. The caravan concluded its work in an atmosphere of great appreciation from the residents of the Chawia community, who expressed their deep gratitude to the medical teams and the organizing associations, demanding the intensification of such initiatives that touch their daily reality and contribute to improving the quality of their health life.
