King Mohammed dedicates medical center for disabled
Morocco, Health, 6/8/2001
Morocco's King Mohammed VI dedicated Wednesday a re-education and re-adaptation center for disabled people in Bouskoura, Casablanca suburbs.
The center, the first of its kind in Morocco, will help reintegrate disabled people, especially those from poor milieus.
Some 60 percent of patients will be accommodated and treated for free in the center, the fees being paid by a Moroccan association for the disabled (AMH), which operates thanks to donations.
The remaining 40 percent will have to pay for their treatment.
The king toured the various wards of the center, built over 2 hectares at more than $2.6 million (more than 30 million dirhams).
Some 30,000 handicapped people will be treated annually in the center.
