COVID-19 Claims Lives of 6 Moroccan Doctors as Vaccination Campaign Nears

The National Union of Private Sector Physicians (SNMSL) reports that these deaths (3 general practitioners, an ophthalmologist, a pulmonologist, an orthopedist) occur just days before the start of the vaccination campaign. A campaign that will target healthcare professionals who are on the front line in the fight against the pandemic, writes the daily Al Massae, specifying that it is in a context characterized by countless complaints from citizens, noting the ineffectiveness of the measures taken by the Ministry of Health for the care of Covid-19 patients.

Concerned, a PJD parliamentarian has seized the Minister of Health, in view of the alarming increase in deaths at the Duc de Tov hospital, of people infected with the coronavirus in the Tanger-Tétouan-El Hoceima region. The parliamentarian cites the drama of the oxygen supply cut-off that cost the lives of 9 patients with Covid-19, not to mention these many tragedies due to the lack of care, negligence, lack of communication and non-administration of drugs to hospitalized patients with chronic diseases, such as insulin for diabetics.

She wants to know about the veracity of these accusations and the real causes of the multiplication of deaths in the pavilions dedicated to Covid-19.
