Morocco, Culture, 7/3/2003
An association of Moroccan expatriates has handed out a donation of medical equipment to the Rabat cancer hospital in Rabat (INO).
The handout by the Belgium-based association "Ceuvre Caritative envers les pays en voie de developpement" (charity for developing countries) comprises various equipment used in cancer treatment (surgery, chemotherapy and anesthesia). The donation will cover 6 months of the hospital needs.
The association of the hospital friends (AMINO) had appealed for financial and material support to cancer patients, especially most destitute ones. It said between 35,000 and 40,000 new cancer cases are reported every year in Morocco, including 5,000 cases treated at the Rabat hospital.
Each week, 30 major surgeries, including 85% on persons belonging to the poorest social layers, are performed at the hospital.
