Casablanca to Open 70-Bed Covid-19 Care Unit Amid ICU Overcrowding

The city of Casablanca will soon welcome an intensive care unit in order to relieve the overcrowded intensive care services due to the many critical and serious cases of Covid-19. This is a suggestion made to the authorities by the National Federation of Anesthesiologists and Resuscitators (FNAR), the Association of Private Clinics (ACP) and the College of Medical Specialists.
According to Dr. Jamal Eddine Kohen, president of the FNAR, this unit is intended for "patients in need of more medical supervision before landing in intensive care". He explains that it will be composed of 70 beds, 10 to 12 of which will be reserved for intensive care. The FNAR, the SMAR and the ANCP, while giving the idea of opening such an intensive care unit, have not remained inactive. They contribute to this unit through donations of equipment and by providing quality personnel, reports Médias24.
The Casablanca intensive care unit will also have the mission of being up to the hopes placed in it, because "if the final result is conclusive, the FNAR will propose to extend this type of structure to other cities," specifies the same source.
