King Mohammed inspects socio-economic projects in Smara

Morocco's King Mohammed VI, accompanied by his brother Prince Moulay Rachid and his cousin Prince Moulay Ismail, visited Friday the provincial hospital of Smara and inspected several social and economic projects in the city.

At the Smara Hospital, the king handed medical equipment supplied by the Mohammed V Solidarity Foundation and toured the various wards of the 67-bed hospital, built in 1989.

The king then heard explanations on a project to build a boarding house of females and on another project to increase milk production.

King Mohammed VI also distributed food to the poor from different communes of Smara. The operation, which will benefit 3200 households, is part of the fourth national solidarity campaign currently staged throughout Morocco to raise funds for the poor.

During his stay in Smara, the king also inspected other projects dealing with roads construction, housing and power supply.
