Initiated by Volunteer Morocco association, the Moroccan Embassy in Washington and the Fondation du Sud, in cooperation with the "Paul Chester" Foundation and the regional Directorate of Health and Social Protection, the caravan, organized at the Hassan II hospital in Dakhla, aims to bring medical services closer to the region's citizens and reduce the time needed for surgical appointments.

Several inhabitants of the province of Oued Eddahab are benefiting from the services provided by this caravan, on the occasion of the 24th anniversary of the Throne Day.

In a statement to the press, Aziz El Madi, director of the Moroccan-American surgical mission, said that some 120 surgical procedures would be carried out, including pediatric, gynecological and cervico-facial surgery.

For his part, Bill Chester, a volunteer doctor, emphasized that the operations were being carried out under excellent conditions, pointing out that a highly qualified technical and medical team had been mobilized to carry out some fairly complex surgical operations.

Kamal El Yansli, regional director of Health and Social Protection for Dakhla-Oued Eddahab, noted that this surgical caravan aims to bring medical services closer to the citizen, by performing several surgical interventions in several specialties, noting that it is meant to reduce waiting lists at the Hassan II hospital in Dakhla.
