It will provide primary care to a population that has had to interrupt medical monitoring due to the pandemic and the difficulty of accessing specialized medical care, stated the Foundation in a press release.
The medical intervention is scheduled in Had M'sila, a center with a population of nearly 67,000 inhabitants whose epidemiological profile is characterized by a predominance of chronic diseases and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The caravan will thus focus on a range of services covering curative care in general and specialized medicine (gynecology, pediatrics, pneumology, ophthalmology, rheumatology, gastroenterology and dentistry), diagnostic care, preventive care (screening for chronic diseases, breast cancer, cervical cancer and diabetes) and awareness raising as well as drug treatments for poor populations and people with disabilities.
It will be carried out by 27 Specialists and general practitioners, 10 Nurses, 7 Technicians and medical assistants, 3 Medical Partner associations, 8 Mobile medical Foundation units (radiology, biology, dentistry, ophthalmology, pharmacy) and 1 ambulance.
It brings together the traditional partners of the program, namely the regional health directorate, local authorities, the University Hospital Center (CHU) of Fez, the approved medical associations (Association Action Urgence, ANFAS - Moroccan Association for Aid to Patients With Achieved of Chronic Respiratory Pathology and ARS - Association of Health Retirees) as well as the Mohammed VI National Center for the Disabled. An important human and technical device is thus planned in order to offer the necessary care and to meet the demand of the populations under the best conditions, added the release.
This medical operation will take place in accordance with health and distancing instructions in order to ensure health security of the populations.
