Cardiac patient denied care Tangier hospital unpaid bill
After heart surgery, an 84-year-old Moroccan woman is refused medical follow-up at Tangier’s university hospital due to an unpaid bill. This alarming situation reignites the debate over healthcare access for vulnerable patients in Morocco.
Mohammed VI University Hospital in Tangier closed its doors to Aicha S.. This 84-year-old widow, originally from Larache and without income, was denied her follow-up consultation on April 8, 2026. The administration has blocked her file because of a financial debt linked to major heart surgery, billed at over 23,000 dirhams.
