Deadly Scorpion Stings Raise Alarm in Rural Morocco, Highlighting Healthcare Gaps

In a statement, the regional office of the LMDDH declared that "its inhabitants live in tragic living conditions, especially in rural areas, where the most basic rights are lacking, in particular the right to medical care and treatment." According to them, most of the village dispensaries are closed. It also mentions "a failure of group ambulances to fulfill their functions of transporting the injured at night".

The LMDDH office also denounces the poor reception structure at the regional hospitals, "the only health facility in the region specialized in receiving victims of scorpions from different groups in the region and its surroundings". The intensive care unit of the regional hospital in Sraghna has only 10 beds, according to Alyaoum24.
