  • Inauguration de la maison de vie de Marrakech
  • Marrakech, Oct 13, 2014  -  

    HRH Princess Lalla Salma, Chairwoman of the Lalla Salma Foundation for Cancer Prevention and Treatment, accompanied by Dominique Ouattara, first lady of Côte d'Ivoire and Bernadette Chirac, President of the Fondation Hôpitaux de Paris-Hôpitaux de France, inaugurated, here Monday, the "House of Life", a facility to accommodate the poor patients of the oncology center in the Mohamed VI university hospital of Marrakech.

    HRH Princess Lalla Salma, accompanied by her distinguished guests, also visited the Radiotherapy Department of the Mohammed VI University Hospital where a new linear accelerator, offered by the Foundation, was put into service. 

    The "House of Life" will accommodate poor patients and their families who are not residing in Marrakech, during their treatment period at the Oncology Center.

       The facility, which can house up to 1,450 people per year, required a budget of 15 million dirhams, granted by HM King Mohammed VI, the Lalla Salma Foundation and the Fondation Hôpitaux de Paris-Hôpitaux de France.

       Subsequently, HRH Princess Lalla Salma, accompanied by Dominique Ouattara and Bernadette Chirac, visited the Radiotherapy Department of the Oncology Centre at the Mohamed VI university hospital of Marrakech.

       The new linear accelerator will allow to move from 60 to 120 radiotherapy sessions per day and thereby significantly reduce the waiting time of patients from the Marrakech-Tensift-El Haouz and the southern regions.

       This project required a budget of 14 million dirhams, including 9 million dirhams funded by Lalla Salma Foundation in partnership with the Cement Association.

       On this occasion, HRH Princess Lalla Salma was briefed on the project to build a hematology and paediatric oncology department at the Mohammed VI University Hospital of Marrakech.

       The project, which is part of an initiative of the Lalla Salma Foundation, aims to complement the provision of care in hematology and oncology at the Mohammed VI Mohammed VI University Hospital with an entity dedicated to taking care of very young patients. 

     

       To be built on area of 2,300 square meters with an estimated investment of 15 million dirhams, the facility will consist of a unit for children and infants, a unit for adolescents and a day hospital.
